catchup after fin:code

fin:code in Frankfurt was a great chance to catch up with industry peers and exchange ideas on devops and devsecops. its been a while since I hosted a worldcafe but 2.5 hours of running conversations with a different group of people every 30 minutes – but it enabled me to get a great insight into the devsecops topics and pains people have in their enterprises.

I wanted to share two topics from my presentation that I gave about PAYBACK and devops. first is a video from a colleague about our dashboards we have around our office space. this is how we share our metrics and information.

I also wanted to talk books – I was slightly suprised that not all hands went up when we talked about The Phoenix Project. if you are involved in devops or on the periphery – get it and read it. its not heavy weight read and it brings an easy insight into what many people consider the mystical world of devops.

If you are a devops engineer and you struggle with some of the leadership parts, or if you just struggle in a leadership role – get Leadership Plain and Simple by Steve Radcliffe . the book talks about the idea that leaders need to decide what the future looks like, engage the staff around them that they believe in the solution and then finally deliver it.

FED – Future, Engage, Deliver.

“FED” strikes home to me as a solution to anyone who struggles to deliver devops in an enterprise where people dont believe or dont want to change things.
