Communication Saves The Day: Confessions of a DevOps Distributed Team

Abstract:

Distributed work is common today and often times the talent you need for a particular role is not necessarily in the location you need it. Too many precious hours are spent waiting for a task to complete that stifles development and operations teams to work together. While companies like Amazon and Etsy make it seem easy, DevOps is still an aspiration to many teams. What’s adding to that complexity is now is working across distributed environments where teams are demanding more flexible work arrangements.

This talk explores the real-life encounters of a distributed DevOps team. We’ll explore what strategies teams have previously employed that didn’t work and what is now considered “good” communication in today’s DevOps environment. We’ll also show how distributed DevOps teams are communicating to close the gap of flexible work arrangements while speeding the delivery of new software into Operations.
