DevOps Chat

Value stream mapping, what is it? Sure you have heard of it, but what does it really mean and how can it help you? We discuss value stream mapping in some detail with Eric Robertson, VP of product and engineering at CollabNet. Great discussion on how this Lean based idea can really help in your DevOps transformation.

Rob England, IT Skeptic was once a DevOps skeptic (what do you expect, he is the IT skeptic), but even this skeptic has been won over to the ways of DevOps. So much so in fact that he is presenting at this years DOES London conference Rob is presenting on the importance of people in the DevOps equation. If even the IT skeptic can see the advantages of DevOps, you should too? I don't know, but have a listen as we catch up with always entertaining Rob England in advance of DOES London.

Sanjeev Sharma of IBM has a new book out called the DevOps Adoption Playbook, a guide to adopting DevOps in a multi-speed IT enterprise. Let me say that this is no book for dummies either.

The DevOps Adoption Playbook represents the sum total of the many DevOps lessons and learning that Sanjeev has accumulated in his role as a CTO and leader of DevOps at IBM. Much of it is based on the workshops he has done all over the world with literally dozens of enterprises.

As I told Sanjeev after reading the book, "in a market full of books on "what is", this is a book on "how to". I think you will enjoy this chat.
