Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement and Sharing (CALMS) was once a fairly popular definition of DevOps, with Culture being the foundation that underpinned the other principles. But with the proliferation of so many new technologies in the DevOps space, DevOps has become more tech-focused than ever before.The truth is that without the right behaviours and ways of working, all the great DevOps tooling can end up delivering little or no value at all. To make matters worse, without the right data-driven approach it’s almost impossible to tell if you’re delivering value or not! Sara and James will talk about their experiences in how embedding the right engineering culture can ensure that DevOps transformation is able to deliver maximum value. This is the story of how the engineers are helping to transform their organisation to a high-trust and innovative culture through the use of DevOps principles and practices based on product alignment, fast-feedback loops and continuous experimentation, which in turn is enabling DevOps to deliver true value to customers and engineers alike.
