The ITx 2018 Programme may change without notice
The adoption of DevOps is gaining traction in many businesses, both large and small. The "unicorn" organisations that do DevOps from Day One can plunge right in. For we "horses" that deal with legacy systems and practices, we have to evolve by stages towards a DevOps ideal. As organisations ease into the challenging ideas of DevOps, they grow in maturity through stages. This session will discuss a four-stage model typical of that journey, based on Rob's experiences with clients. We look at how to determine where you are on that model, what to do at each stage, and what some of the implications are for organisational transformation.
