Digital transformation requires transformational talent. As more organizations move forward with DevOps, the principle of "shifting left" is opening up opportunities for developers, operational staff, security and others to supplement their core competencies with a broad set of general skills so as to migrate from an I-shaped specialist to multi-dimensional T-shaped professional. T-shaped practitioners are in the highest demand in the talent market today. For most IT professionals, it’s easy to identify the depth of knowledge that forms the stem of the T (e.g., developer). Grooming the right skills for the right role at the top of the T (e.g., testing) can be more challenging. In this session, Jayne Groll will explore emerging trends in DevOps skills modernization by presenting the benchmarks, and insights from the first Upskilling: 2019 Enterprise DevOps Skills Report. The fact-based report was fielded by the DevOps Institute and is based on a detailed global DevOps open community survey as well as interviews with several enterprises, industry and hiring leaders. Groll will also help attendees understand the characteristics of the T-shaped model and provide guidance for getting started in building personal and organizational learning paths.
