I am reading the making work visible by Dominica DeGrandis, i think that it is very timely. :)

I also make sure that I am knowledgeable about cloud so I am reading books and exam prep for Azure Fundamentals through
Exam Ref AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
by Jim Cheshire :)

4) How will you measure your life – by Clayton Christensen

Twice in the last week I again recommended "Making Work Visible"

@sureshgp Good one there!

After reading the replies I am definitely racking up a book list to start during this quarantine. I think I’ll start with the unicorn project !

Radical Candor by Kim Scott.

Engineering DevOps by Marc Hornbeek of course.

#EngineeringDevOps by Marc Hornbeek is definitely recommended !

I,m working my way through some Cyber certs...Jayne, Engineering DevOps is on my list...lol

#EngineeringDevOps by Marc, definitely a good read

Team Topologies: Organizing Business and Technology Teams for Fast Flow

I am biased but "Engineering DevOps" is an interesting read because of the unique engineering prescriptive approach for "How-to-DevOps" to digital transformations.

#HybridHumans is the need of digital acceleration and successful adoption !!

E-shaped Hybrid Humans and professionals are now a REALITY !!

the shortage of skilled engineers

Raise of SRE which is great and Ops getting more power

For two years in a row, there is a clear indication across all levels that "human" (soft) skills are equally important to automation and process skills. Culture counts!

I was interested to see how much importance CI/CD tooling had. More than cloud this year! Apparently "getting things shipped" is more important than "where it is being shipped to" at the moment.

1) DevOps transformation journey is still very difficult for more than 50%.
2) Finding and attracting skilled people continues to be a challenge in 2020.

The landscape is fluid, and so too must be our learning. Keep Learning! :)

It's nice to see the focus moving beyond the technology to understanding the process and people improvements needed to use the technology effectively.

the shortage of skilled engineers is a real shock, especially given the amount of people you see on LinkedIn with DevOps in their title

2nd how hard to find leaders with coding skill

My main takeaway was to see that the Process Skills and Knowledge to be of more importance.

Hybrid model of humans and the change from "soft" skills to "human" skills! E-shaped professionals can be developed and must be retained. ;)

1. E-Shaped DevOps Human (experience and expertise, explora- tion and execution.)
2. Collaboration and cooperation is still the top must-have human skill.
3. DevOps adoption, Agile and SRE have all gained in their percentage for must-have skills.

Loved the E Shaped concept much required

DevOps, Agile and SRE are #bestbuddies

@mrcoups there are many CV's with the word DevOps in there but its the only a word!

@samueldfell Touché. Maybe that inflection point of the infra getting commoditized is showing up here in the "skills I want need" space. :)

A shout-out to the E-Shape as well.

@HappyHelenBeal I was going to say Daft Punk, "One More Time." Just keep going, and build stuff that matters!!!

My choice for best DevOps song is "Stairway to Heaven" by Moody Blues..... DevOps is a journey to continuous improvement...to higher levels of performance.
