DevOps Experience is a business issue focused experiential learning workshop designed to resonate with the transformation challenges facing executives today and demonstrates DevOps in action. Delegates are immersed in a business scenario where a long established international airline (Global Air) is facing challenges of growth and relevance in a fast changing digital world.
Customers have greater expectations and increased options, with new entrants in the market responding more rapidly to customer needs to provide an enhanced customer experience at lower price points.
The airline needs to compete with these organizations by achieving greater efficiencies, diversified revenue channels, accelerated high quality release cycles, reduced risk, and increased customer experience.
Over the course of the workshop, participants will engage in a high impact, classroom based experience which brings to life the key messages around the changes required to transition to an agile enterprise that is customer centric and digitally focused in the delivery of services.
The experience will call out current barriers, pathways and benefits of this journey and focuses mainly on people and processes (ways of working) and provides opportunities for understanding the context of technologies such as Kubernetes which are enabling this transformation: Continuous Integration/Delivery (Cl/CD), Test, Deployment as well as APl’s, Tool Chains, Microservices, Monoliths & SaaS to demonstrate DevOps in action and the importance of removing technical debt within the organization.
