A Human-First Approach to DevOps Transformation & Automation

30 September 2020 00:00:00

DevOps is fast becoming a vital part of many company cultures. Organizations across the globe are looking to embrace DevOps in order to improve deployment frequency, reduce failure rates, and accelerate time-to-market. But most companies are simply not culturally prepared for that kind of sweeping change.

Implementing DevOps in your organization isn’t as simple as buying a tool and mandating that everyone use it. DevOps is more than a job title or even a team of resources; it is a culture of constant innovation. A journey that requires continuous, incremental improvement.

Successful DevOps transformation requires the collaboration of people, convergence of processes, and effective utilization of tools/technology. And while tools and processes can be easy enough to address, the people part of the equation can be much more difficult to tackle.
Panelists:
- Andrew Clay Shafer, VP, Transformation, Red Hat
- Rajesh Nandakumar, Head of Information Technology, Westpac Institutional Bank
- Paul Whiten, DevOps Business Development Manager, Red Hat
