Developers have been refactoring forever to gain efficiencies and avoid mistakes. Let’s apply more than just theory to ops to do the same. There’s about a million articles, blogs, tweets and infographics available today that bespeak of DevOps as this or that or the other thing. But one core truth remains: DevOps in part attempts […]
Culture Debt
There has been a lot of talk lately about IT’s accumulation of “technical debt’. Technical debt describes necessary work from a prior deployment that was deferred in favor of other tasks. As technical debt grows, the ability to make future changes is hindered because of a backlog that was not addressed. I have […]
Enabling Collaboration Across Diverse Cultures
Welcome back to this series, ‘Enterprise DevOps Q&A.’ In my last post, I talked about breaking down the barriers between dev and ops. Now, I want to address another, very typical question from a global enterprise about managing cultural differences in a globally dispersed enterprise. Q.

In a competitive world, needs evolve quickly as our users demand more features — all the while expecting around-the-clock availability and reliability, whether they use smartphones, tablets, or computers.
