Hello. ASPE & Techtown Training An Introduction to DevOps for Project Managers Today’s Presenters : Chris Knotts, PMP – Enterprise training curriculum director: DevOps, emerging technologies, & technology innovation Robert Knapp – ASPE corporate training advisor

2016 DevOps Market Vision A bit of history Getting past DevOps as a buzzword and getting to the real implications for project managers A typical enterprise environment and the life cycle of IT and software delivery projects Enterprise agility as a bridge to DevOps The relationship between continuous delivery, incremental workflows, and DevOps training Welcome! We will examine:

Some assumptions for our time together: DevOps practices are most powerful when applied to contexts of software delivery and IT change management DevOps, by definition, is never a “one-size-fits-all” remedy DevOps is about drilling down on your own organization’s specific problems and challenges

2013: The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win Gene Kim George Spafford Kevin Behr

2015 Puppet “State of DevOps” Report executive summary: High-performing IT organizations: 1) deploy 30x more frequently 2) have 200x shorter lead times 3) have 60x fewer failures and recover 168x faster. Lean management and continuous delivery practices create conditions to deliver value faster, sustainably. High performance is achievable whether your applications are greenfield, brownfield or legacy. IT managers play a critical role in any DevOps transformation. Diversity matters. Deployment pain is a key indicator of IT performance. Burnout can be prevented, and DevOps can help.

What is DevOps Really?

What is DevOps? Take 1 of 3:

The fundamental principles of DevOps as generally agreed upon by the most influential early members of the DevOps community, were summed up in the acronym “CAMS.” CAMS Culture Automation Measurement Sharing What is DevOps? Take 2 of 3:

CALMS Culture Automation Lean Measurement Sharing Jez Humble later suggested adding an “L” to the acronym, changing it to “CALMS.” We endorse and encourage this addition! Jez Humble What is DevOps? Take 2 of 3:

What is DevOps? Take 3 of 3: “From the ah-ha to the ka-ching” DevOps is not about IT problems: DevOps is about business problems. Concept / ideation Value

Attribute Key Elements High-trust, high- performance culture IT capabilities = strategic assets, not cost centers Highly automated processes; mature deployment pipeline Continuous delivery of software and IT value Commitment to continuous learning & improvement Unified mission; aligned incentives across departments and teams; little fear/failure/blame, high quality of work life Projects, features and work flow through fast cycles times, systems are “anti-fragile,” IT processes & capabilities are aligned with overarching organizational needs Technical phases of projects supported by common tools and automation processes, collaboration replaces handoffs, codebase/IT infrastructure is agile and functional by default Features, projects and IT work follow a regular, iterative flow. Cycle time is short, workflow favors small frequent changes Disciplined feedback loops quickly travel back upstream for inclusion. Tools for monitoring, measurement and alerting implemented & effective. Shared knowledge repositories. What is DevOps?

Continuous Delivery Maturity Matrix

How can we get more specific about applying DevOps principles for our own work? Common goals of an enterprise DevOps practice Increased deployment frequency Reduced lead time for changes Faster recovery when problems occur More robust and better integrated security A “shift left” in quality – quality of code, testing, architecture, “deployability” and culture Fast feedback loops and effective communication between teams and departments

Obvious (and important) implications for project managers…

Plan-driven corporate behavior

Equalizing Requirements

One of the most important tools of DevOps: Failure Getting from: To: Failure is not a cause for blame, it is a vehicle for change, learning, and improvement.

Jason Bloomberg’s Agile Architecture “Quality Star”

To sum up: Stakeholders are oriented around teams and projects Quality is tied to value – and is everyone’s responsibility, from requirements and code creation to deployment Technical non-functional requirements (and technical debt) receive equal priority to functional requirements Deliver often, deliver early, learn and adapt. Roll planning into your continuous processes Testing and QA is not a separate function: it is a key enabler of continuous delivery Expect failure and plan for the contingency
