Welcome to Agile and DevOps Wisdom.
I’ll start by providing you a bit of background on who I am and what I’ve done over the past several decades, which is where all the wisdom comes from.
I started as a true geek and am a great lover of information technology but for over 13 years I’ve been responsible to leading large organizations that deliver custom software projects via an Agile development approach, most recently using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) www.scaledagileframework.com . Additionally I’ve led several very large organizations to help them migrate to DevOps, so I have real “boots on the ground” experience. I am always truly amazed at how often I get approached by a harried executive that has a project in trouble and is looking towards Agile as the silver bullet. That said, Agile done well, is a powerful instrument to 21st century change and its also a substantial organizational change.
This blog is dedicated to the customer and technology leadership that wants to make the organizational journey to Agile and/or DevOps. I’m happy to share my hard learned lessons with the sincere hope you can avoid some of the most common mistakes I’ve seen over the years.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you come back often.
