There are a lot of books and papers discussing DevOps guiding principles, DevOps patterns. This is focused on some of the most frequent anti-patterns that I have seen in the past 15 years, both in consulting, but also talking to many companies in helping them understand DevOps.

The presentation will cover the three popular anti-patterns; what issues they cause and how to avoid them (or if you have implemented them, then what actions that you need to take). The goal of this presentation is to make the audience aware of common pitfalls and a guide teams that are struggling with implementing DevOps and getting value out of this change in culture (and with the associated change in processes).
