It’s imperative for organizations to deliver valuable technology solutions at business speed to compete in a disruptive global market. In order for this to take place, not just engineers operating CI/CD pipelines, but everyone involved in defining, building, testing, deploying, and releasing software-driven systems must share a DevOps mindset.
In this interactive two-day course, participants will learn how to work together on end-to-end optimization of value streams for their organizations across technical, non-technical, and management roles.
During this course, attendees will learn what DevOps is and why it is so important to every role, as well as how to design a Continuous Delivery Pipeline that is tailored to their organization’s needs. This workshop aims to help attendees develop an actionable implementation plan that will speed up the benefits of DevOps in their organization by mapping their current value stream from concept to cash and identifying major bottlenecks in flow.
After taking the class, participants will be prepared to take the exam and become SAFe® DevOps Practitioner once they have passed the exam.
Get certified as a SAFe® professional responsible for improving value flow from ideas to operational solutions through a Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP).
In order to compete in an increasingly disruptive global marketplace, companies must provide valuable technology solutions that meet the needs of their customers as quickly as possible. In order to achieve this, all the people involved in developing, building, testing, deploying, and releasing software-driven systems need to share a DevOps mindset.
In order to achieve Lean-Agile at scale we leverage the power of DevOps and Continuous Delivery Pipeline. A key aspect of DevOps responsibility that will be explored in this course is participating in Continuous Exploration, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, Release-on-Demand, Continuous Testing, Continuous Security, and building a culture of shared accountability. In addition, you will learn the CALMR (Culture, Automation, Lean, Measure, and Recover) approach to DevOps that will help you create a culture in which everyone takes responsibility for the delivery of solutions. This enables organizations to achieve faster time-to-market by bringing together people, processes, and technology across the organization, allowing organizations to deliver more value to their customers sooner both in terms of time-to-market and value for money.
As a matter of fact, industry leaders will tell you that over 70% of digital transformations fail, and that it is very important to choose the instructor who will deliver your SAFe® DevOps class. It has been my experience as SPCT to implement the Scaled Agile Framework and build Continuous Delivery Pipelines, overcoming transformation challenges in a successful way. As an SPCT, I have helped many engineers to understand what it takes to run a successful Lean-Agile Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery process. As a certified coach, I also know what pitfalls to avoid and how to identify them. For the course, I focus on delivering a meaningful understanding of implementing SAFe, sharing my experience and real-world examples, and allowing you to contribute your own insights and analyses.
Take this course and gain insights, skills, tools, and knowledge that will help you to meet the day-to-day challenges that a developer or operations team must face and conquer on a daily basis from your journey towards a real, deep understanding of SAFe® DevOps Practitioner role building a Continuous Delivery Pipeline!
Course Summary.
Every organization must deliver valuable technology solutions at the speed of business in order to compete in a disruptive global market. It is essential that all of the people involved in the definition, development, testing, deployment, and release of software-driven systems share the same DevOps mindset, and not just those operating the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines.
With this interactive two-day course, individuals who have technical, non-technical, and leadership roles will be able to work together to optimize their value stream from beginning to end.
The purpose of this training is to educate attendees on the concept of DevOps, the importance of DevOps to every role, and how they can create a Continuous Delivery Pipeline that is customized to fit their needs. During this course the participants are working in cross-functional teams to map their current state value stream from concept to cash, identify major bottlenecks in the flow process, and develop a concrete implementation plan that will help accelerate the implementation of DevOps within their organization.
