DevOps Deconstruction/components: 1. Collaboration of People 2. Convergence of Processes 3. Creation and Exploitation of tools

• A common perception held by the organization’s members; a system of shared meaning

• A shared pattern of beliefs, expectations & meanings that influence and guide the thinking and behaviors of the members of an organization.

Change People Reassign people

who are unwilling to change

Change Incentives • Developers are incentivized to

produce and release code – Ideally error-free code

• Operations are incentivized to minimize downtime – Operations knows that the best

That’s all! • Thank you
