Course structure

09.00-10.00 – Introduction

  • Why start a DevOps journey? What are the business goals we think we can achieve?
  • What is DevOps? And what is it not?
  • DevOps from the start
  • Modern DevOps: according to whom?

10.00-10.15 – Morning break

10.15-11.15 – Devops Greatest Hits

  • Who are the key organizations trying to shape DevOps in their own way? We go through their main contributions to the DevOps movement. DASA’s six principles, DevOps Institute’s CALMS model, SAFE’s Continuous Exploration, and much more.

11.15-12.15 – Deep dive into the DevOps culture

  • What organizational culture best supports DevOps-based ways of working?
  • And above all: how to implement it?
  • We’ll look at how other organizations have gone about finding ‘their’ DevOps culture, and learn about the best (and worst!) ways to create the culture we want using methods like ADKAR, Kotter’s 8 steps, the agile onion(!), and 5C.’

12.15-13.00 – Lunch break

13.00-14.00 – A tour of the DevOps organization

  • What does an organization look like that supports and helps create our DevOps culture?
  • This is where DevOps started; by merging the teams working on development, maintenance, and operations. But today we’ve gone so much further, with fully cross-functional teams that have both responsibility and mandate for what they deliver.
  • We also look at the difficulty of maintaining a DevOps culture and DevOps ways of working in a larger organization and how we can deal with it.

14.00-15.00 – A walk through DevOps ways of working

  • If our culture says we should delegate decisions, and we should organize ourselves in independent teams, what should our ways of working look like?
  • We learn that strict processes to be followed at all costs do not work in a DevOps organization. Instead, we work with more loosely connected ways of working, with each team adapting them to their needs. We travel to places like Lean and Agile and get inspired by mindsets and practices like focusing on creating a ‘flow’ using Scrum.

15.00-15.15 – Afternoon break

15.15-16.45 – Building a DevOps architecture

  • The right culture, supported by aligned ways of working and an organization that fits can work wonders. But why so many tools and other technologies when talking about DevOps?
  • Yes, because automation and agile tools are very important for us to be able to realize, above all, the vision of shortening lead times and getting new functions into production faster. But also for the team members to enjoy their workplace and be productive at the same time.
  • We look at the most common tools that can be used to create the Continuous Delivery Pipeline that is our goal. But we also look at how the basic architecture of our product can be changed to fit more easily into our pipeline.
  • Automation is a success factor for reducing lead times, increasing quality and reducing costs. Automation places demands on the technical architecture and the structure of the services. Concepts such as micro service are explained.
