Jan de Vries will share his experiences that he gained during the roll-out of DevOps in a large insurance company. During his presentation, the following topics will be covered:
- What were the reasons to start experimenting with DevOps? Or did we already start and didn't we realise?
- which obstacles occurred? And where they mostly technical or organisational?
- which discussions were necessary with management? And why did we re-scope several times?
- how did the organization become convinced of the benefits of DevOps? And who tends to benefits from what?
- what slowed down the implementation and how did we accelerate again? And what is the relationship with job security and common goals?
- which widely applicable lessons can be drawn from this example? And how do these relate to the Cuckoo Effect, Antifragility, the 4 colour backlog, liminality, the difference between Leading and Lagging indicators and Agile Leadership?
