It’s not often that my emails turn into full-blown conversations on DevOps. But when it happens, it’s a great time to take advantage of the insights. John
Having a Definition of Ready means that stories must be immediately actionable. The Team must be able to determine what needs to be done and the amount of work required to complete the User Story or PBI.
Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible, serving us without drawing attention to itself. Bad design, on the other hand, screams out its inadequacies, making itself very noticeable. —Don Norman, The Design of Everyday Things Design Thinking It goes beyond the traditional focus on the features and functions of a proposed product.

There is no one-size-fits-all, magic bullet for determining a sprint length that works well for every team. Originally, Scrum called for one-month sprints, but nowadays many teams have been successful with two-week or even one-week sprints. Choosing the right sprint length is about determining an appropriate stimulus-to-response cycle. In a sprint, the initial stimulus is the customer setting the priority of the stories. The response is the team building working software.
While working on the Devops Cookbook with my fellow authors Gene Kim,John Willis,Mike Orzen we are gathering a lot of “devops” practices. For some time we struggled with structuring them in the book. I figured we were missing a mental model to relate the practices/stories to.
This blogpost is a first stab at providing a structure to codify devops practices. The wording, descriptions are pretty much work in progress, but I found them important enough to share to get your feedback.

But like many things in technology, radical change can happen in flash. Within the past few years and 53 percent of respondents to the Upskilling 2021: Enterprise DevOps Skills Report saying they had recently hired or plan to hire someone for that title. Read on to learn why this relatively new DevOps job title is here to stay!
The primary goal of any DevOps effort within an organisation is to improve the delivery of value for customers and the business, not in itself to reduce costs, increase automation, or drive everything from configuration management; this means that different organisations might need different team structures in order for effective Dev and Ops collaboration to take place.
Most devopsdays events are a combination of curated talks and self organized conversations. The self organized content is known as “open spaces”. Open Spaces give attendees the opportunity to talk about anything they’d like. A person might suggest a topic they want to learn about, or one they feel like they can help others with. The topics range widely, from highly technical, to pure culture, to board games for networking.
