DevOps: The Next Evolution of Lean and Agile What is DevOps? Is it a new role? Self-service? More communication/empathy between Dev and Ops? Continuous integration/continuous deployment tools? Practices like traffic shaping and feature toggles? Culture change? Most of those answers are not wrong, but they fail to capture the heart of it. At its heart, DevOps is simply empowered development teams taking responsibility for how their product performs in production. If so, then this is not a new story. It's a continuation of the lean/agile trend which was the beginning of the end for quality assurance and business analysis as separate silos. This talk applies the lessons learned from leading lean/agile transformations to the current ongoing change toward DevOps. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Why Government Leaders Must Embrace Agile Agile is a pathway to innovation in many Government agencies. It is a response to challenges in Information Technology where traditional software development processes often did not yield expected results. This resulted in many projects exceeding budgets and timelines, and ignoring needed requirement changes. At its core, Agile is about priorities, placing individuals and interactions above processes and tools; working products above comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration above contract negotiation; and responding to change above following a plan. Leaders can embrace this approach to improve processing times, and coordination among development teams and users.
