Integrated Cloud Solutions — the DevOps transformation playbook
Module 01 gave you the system: the Three Ways, Well-Architected, lead time vs process time. Module 02 is how you start the transformation in your own organization — and the lessons of the people who already tried.
Picking the starting point
- ›Crossing the Chasm — innovators first
- ›Build critical mass, isolate holdouts
- ›Etsy · ING · American Airlines
- ›"Little fish, little pond"
Mapping the value stream
- ›Who is in the stream — 7 roles
- ›Current vs idealized VSM
- ›Find queues and rework
- ›Pick a metric, set a 3–12 mo target
The transformation team
- ›Dedicated full-time, not 20%-of-time
- ›Generalists with existing relationships
- ›Short horizons + 20% for debt
- ›Visibility tools = behavior change
