Scaling DevOps Practices: The Role of Management


Companies that are going through their DevOps journey in a successful, measurable and methodical way have one thing in common - a strong and consistent level of leadership sponsorship. Strong leadership and management philosophy are critical to seeing sustained results of a transformation. More often than not, we see IT managers fall prey to all-too-common pitfalls, and lose sight of the true purpose of their DevOps journey. How do I guide my teams during the various stages of their DevOps evolution? What values are important to reinforce? How do I balance top-down mandate with bottom-up empowerment? How do I align what my teams want to do with the needs of the business?

In the session, Padmashree Koneti addresses IT managers with effective strategies and approaches to being supportive and transformational leaders in guiding their organizations. Attendees will walk away with new strategies for how to gain the trust of their teams while also aligning their DevOps transformation with true and lasting business impact for their companies.
