Amitai Schlair chats with Agile Amped about his DevOps Dojo session for the Agile Alliance Technical Conference. Ditching the "traditional" approach to DevOps, Amitai's workshop focused on a simple, iterative exercise (printing labels), made obvious the artificial divide between Dev and Ops--and any two departments in a single value chain. The takeaway seems almost too simple: the dev team should ask the operations team for their requirements before and during product delivery. Amitai Schlair is a software development coach, legacy code wrestler, non-award-winning musician, and award-winning bad poet. He publishes fixed-length micropodcasts at Agile in 3 Minutes, writes variable-length articles at schmonz.com, and contributes code and direction to notable open-source projects such as NetBSD, pkgsrc, and ikiwiki.
