Every DevOps enthusiast faces the same challenge at some point: you know DevOps works, your team knows it works, but the decision makers want proof. They want a business case. In this talk at ContainerDays 2019, I break down a practical framework for convincing CIOs and managers to fund your DevOps transformation.
I had the honor of being interviewed by 📈 Matt Warcholinski 💾 from Brainhub in his 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭🎙️ on 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩.
🔎 If you’ve ever wondered about the ins and outs of introducing 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐎𝐩𝐬 into your organization, this episode is a must-listen! We delved into some fascinating topics, and I’m thrilled to share a few highlights from our conversation:
Join Eveline Oehrlich and Romano Roth, to discuss whether DevOps is Dead.
Transcript # Narrator 00:02 You’re listening to the humans of DevOps podcast, a podcast focused on advancing the humans of DevOps through skills, knowledge, ideas, and learning, or the skil framework.
Romano Roth is Chief of DevOps at Zühlke. In this interview, he explains why DevOps is not bullshit, how transformation succeeds in companies, and what IT students really need to learn.
In every project, every company, every department, there is a Game of Thrones being played. Power plays between people, teams, and departments that result in massive conflicts. In this talk, I share why these conflicts exist, what strategies you can use to survive them, and how to stay healthy during difficult times. The Game of Thrones is played everywhere. It starts in kindergarten with the fight over a puppet and ends at your deathbed when descendants fight over your heritage.
Working at the same company for more than 20 years, continuously developing yourself, and never losing any enthusiasm for innovation? How that works is shown in this fascinating interview with Romano Roth, Chief of DevOps and Partner at Zühlke Group. In this Career Design Interview, Romano explains the role that a growth mindset, curiosity, self-reflection, and the company’s feedback culture play.
One size fits all? Nothing of the sort! Participatory budgeting calls for a tailored solution, one that can constantly evolve and adapt to the given situation. In this article, we describe how we do it at Zühlke.
The SAFe® for DevOps training is an assessment or a workshop that is ideally suited for teams. Why? Because the focus is on driving the value stream of these teams. Addressing questions, challenges, and any potential obstacles - we can work on the training to provide value to them. We will give them the theory input of what exactly DevOps is.
Together with my colleague Nadine, I presented an updated version of our participatory budgeting approach. We had already shared the first version at a previous event, but since then we made significant changes that we wanted to share. A quick disclaimer: we did not invent participatory budgeting. We built on the materials from the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), so you will find the copyright on the relevant slides. If you want to introduce participatory budgeting in your own organization, we are happy to share our experience and always reference the original SAFe materials.
On February 1, 2002, I started my journey at Zühlke as a junior software engineer. Twenty years later, I am still here. In this post, I want to share what those 20 years looked like, what kept me going, and why I plan to stay for at least another 20.
At first glance, a DevOps transformation seems to be a major undertaking for any company. But with the right approach, you can keep the process lean and agile.
Insight in brief # Start small with a small to medium sized project or product. Select the right people to ensure sufficient credibility and influence. Continuous improvement is key to success.
A DevOps transformation is not magic. Any company can do it. What makes the difference is who you put on the first team — because that team has to deliver the proof that DevOps actually works in your context.
