We all love the aspirational DevOps talks about organizations achieving blistering speed and dazzling nimbleness, right? But what can you do when you look internally at your own organization and everything feels complicated, contentious, and stuck? How do you overcome the silos, the legacy, and the entrenched behaviors that are making your DevOps problems seem so intractable?

This talk is about how to start and sustain a DevOps transformations in large and complex organizations using a methodical — and totally reasonable — Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) approach. This talk isn’t about mythical silver bullets or vague philosophies. This talk is about taking a fresh look at proven Lean techniques and empowering teams to find and fix what is getting in the way.
