DevOps: For Happier, More Productive People

Abstract:

You've heard all about how the practice of DevOps helps your business be more efficient: faster insights into your systems and data, better processes and continuous improvement. What may be far more interesting about the practice of DevOps, however, is not the impact on your workflows, but on all the folks at your business doing the actual work.

In this presentation, Leslie Hawthorn will cover some highlights of DevOps processes, all through the lens of taking a DevOps oriented approach to people management. Attendees will leave this talk with a better understanding of how to make themselves, and their employees and co-workers most successful.
