Hello, Friends of Redgate,
Will I be seeing you, or a colleague of yours, at a SQL in
the City Summit soon?
If you’re on the fence about attending, or not sure who you
should refer to attend, read on. (Registration codes at the bottom of the post.)
The Summits are for C-level IT executives, directors,
managers, and senior database engineers and administrators interested in
learning about all things DevOps. The Summits will be held in New
York City on October 12, London
on October 18, and Chicago
on October 26
I’m excited to be giving a 75-minute session on ‘Capturing
the Value of DevOps’ at each Summit. I’ve had a great time putting this
presentation together – here’s a glimpse into what it’s all about.
Why think about DevOps?
DevOps practices can help you build productive, engaged
teams who constantly learn and regularly deliver value to their customers. Teams
classified as high DevOps performers report greater workplace satisfaction than
their peers -- they avoid deployment burnout, they regularly incorporate
feedback from their customers into their work, and they collaborate with
partners inside the business to work toward shared goals.
Just wanting to “do DevOps” isn’t enough
But implementing DevOps isn’t simply a matter of being great
at writing code, hiring the perfect people, or choosing the right technologies:
to become a high DevOps performer, your team needs the powerful catalyst of
executive support.
You might wonder: why would CEOs and CIOs care about DevOps?
How do executives think about software development, and how can you speak their
language to have a productive conversation about DevOps?
In this session, we will discuss the value of DevOps from
the various perspectives of CEOs, CIOs/CTOs, and Managers. We’ll talk about why
high performing DevOps teams are more likely to exceed business objectives than
other teams. We will discuss why CEOs are under pressure to transform their
companies digitally, in the age where Domino’s identifies as "an
eCommerce company that sells pizza." We'll dig deeper and
explore how the role of CIOs and CTOs are undergoing a major transformation,
and how DevOps aligns with that transformation.
I have plenty of material for the session, but I would love for there to be discussion as well how leadership influences DevOps and why it can be an important tool for them to scale their companies.
What will I take away?
You will leave the session with a fresh take on how to
discuss DevOps with company leaders, links to cutting edge research on DevOps
and leadership, and an understanding of how to effectively discuss the value of
DevOps with other leaders in your organization.
Want to attend, or to refer a colleague or friend?
