What's your feeling with the reference to "DevOps Team"?

If it's "THE DevOps Team" they've probably rebranded an Ops team. If it's "A DevOps Team" it's probably a team that's embraced DevOps. One little article makes a difference!

I've met quite a few whose job is to help inspire and jump start other teams who do work autonomously -- essentially act as internal consultants. That can work well.

Typically the term is meant to mean another silo. However, some orgs use it positively .. as sort of sherpa's

I covered that in my @ITRevDOES lightning talk last year. https://youtu.be/nvrgidV0nco. I think of the #DevOps team as the team supporting the operational components for Devs to work quickly and working with SREs to make it stable and safe.

Would you say DevOps is more about automation or customer satisfaction?

Do you want the idealistic answer or the real answer? Usually people focus on automation. But it SHOULD be about happier customers.

I often describe continuous delivery pipelines as the 'connective tissue' from user need to infrastructure, so the customer satisfaction doesn't happen without end-end engineering, and that's what DevOps practitioners do.

Automation is often what you have to do to increase customer satisfaction. One supports the other. Key is to connect the two. Value Stream Mapping, Wardley Maps help connect these dots.

What is something you learned about DevOps transformations through experience which you found very surprising or unexpected?

For me it was that you can have amazing success without complete automation. Seems obvious now.

Run transformations in a DevOps manner. It means continuously, creating value every week. Baby steps work better than Big Bang in this scenario. Also measuring helps a lot.
