The Downward Spiral

Operations Sees… Fragile applications are prone to

failure Long time required to figure out

“which bit got flipped” Detective control is a salesperson Too much time required to restore

service Too much firefighting and unplanned

work Planned project work cannot

complete Frustrated customers leave Market share goes down Business misses Wall Street

commitments Business makes even larger

promises to Wall Street

Dev Sees… More urgent, date-driven projects

put into the queue Even more fragile code put into

production More releases have increasingly

“turbulent installs” Release cycles lengthen to amortize

“cost of deployments” Failing bigger deployments more

difficult to diagnose Most senior and constrained IT ops

resources have less time to fix underlying process problems

Ever increasing backlog of infrastructure projects that could fix root cause and reduce costs

Ever increasing amount of tension between IT Ops and DevelopmentThese aren’t IT Operations problems…

These are business problems!

Stages Of Value Selling

Problem Significance Solution Value

35

@RealGeneKim

Easy Lines To Get Started

Problem “What’s the difference between a good day and a bad

day?” “What keeps you up at night?”

36

@RealGeneKim

Easy Lines To Get Started

Significance “Does anyone really care if that bad thing happens?” “On a scale of 1-10, how big of a problem is this?” “So what?”

37

@RealGeneKim

Easy Lines To Get Started

Solution “If you could wave a magic wand, what would you

do?” “If you were king/queen, what would it look like?”

38

@RealGeneKim

Easy Lines To Get Started

Value “What’s in it for you?” “In six months, if all this comes true, what does life

look like for you?”

Value To Infosec

Integrate security testing into daily Dev work Reduce time from “find to fix” Reduce surface area of risk Non-functional requirements (Anonymous can

do 6 GB/sec DDoS: how can we survive it?) Enforce consistency Build in auditability Have reliance on IT Ops tools in daily use Traceability of production artifacts

Value And Objection Handling

56@RealGeneKim

Our Desired Future Reality

Installs are predictable and require less time/effort than ever Engineering teams take decisive steps to correct bad installs (and they

don’t happen again) We are deploying code faster than ever, and can quickly detect and

recover We have operational discipline to enforce a structured resolution

process Less unexpected downtime Schedule and complete infrastructure improvement projects Bad installs rarely have a cascading effect Business unit releases are on schedule (vs delayed) Customers rarely leave We’re winning customers We exceed our 20% growth target Our business hitting earnings targets We can tackle even more projects, hire more stars, etc.

High Performing DevOps Teams

They’re more agile 30x more frequent deployments 8,000x faster cycle time than their peers

They’re more reliable 2x the change success rate 12x faster MTTR

How organizations achieve high performance

• 89% have infrastructure artifacts in version control• 82% have automated process to create environments

Performance by DevOps maturity

Organizations that implemented DevOps practices over 12

months ago were 5x more likely to be high performing than

organizations that weren’t implementing DevOps at all.

If I Could Wave A Magic Wand, Everyone Will…

Be energized about how practitioners can contribute in this organizational journey

Leave with some concrete steps to get some great outcomes

Help create the coalition that starts putting DevOps practices into place

“Some books you give to friends, for the joy of sharing a great novel.

“Some books you recommend to your colleagues and employees, to create common ground.

“Some books you share with your boss, to plant the seeds of a big idea.

“The Phoenix Project is all three.”

--Jeremiah Shirk, Integration & Infrastructure Manager at Kansas State University
