Pink22 Featured Speaker - Gene Kim and the Five Ideals of DevOps
World-renowned DevOps guru Gene Kim who is also a co-author of several DevOps publications, details many difficulties faced by organizations – and how to overcome them – in his book, The Unicorn Project: A Novel about Developers, Digital Disruption, and Thriving in the Age of Data. He explains how using the five ideals can lead to a positive and lasting business, technology, and cultural transformation.
You can learn about the five ideals of DevOps – directly from Gene Kim, himself – at Pink22, the 25th Annual International IT Service Management Conference and Exhibition being held February 15-18, 2022, at the incomparable Bellagio in Las Vegas.
DevOps is a movement that takes the best IT practices from Lean and Agile into a development and operations approach that supports automation and continuous delivery. The five ideals expands on the DevOps mindset. Gene will describe how these ideals are foundational to accomplishing sustainable business outcomes and how they are already being elevated and adopted by the IT community as core DevOps values and principles.
The Five Ideals of DevOps
- The first ideal: locality and simplicity – Overcomplexity leads to fragility, technical debt, and waste, so adopting this ideal will enable organizations to reduce the lead times to deployment and increase the quality of outcomes.
- The second ideal: focus, flow, and joy – This concept employs Lean values and principles to ensure that your energy and time is focused on solving the business problem and that you’re having fun doing it.
- The third ideal: the improvement of daily work – By minimizing toil (work that doesn’t improve your service), you can implement improvement and innovation to move toward the automation of daily work.
- The fourth ideal: psychological safety – A culture of psychological safety ensures it is safe to talk about problems because solving problems necessitates prevention, which requires honesty as well as an absence of fear. This will enable an environment where innovation can flourish within a team.
- The fifth ideal: a customer focus – This concept explains how transformation leadership will make decisions based on what their customers value so that every action, every project, and every feature should deliver a defined business benefit.
