Topic is about DevOps, Mario Developer Game Challenge with G R C and any name evens business or process that I talk here, it's purely coincidental. Okay? So don't quote me on this right now. Every developer is like a Mario. We are excited. And this is me. My name is B M K. I work for a company called Section Six, and we help customers build mission critical software for their mission critical systems. Now, developers are excited to solve problems and we are excited because we want to work towards the outcome that our business wants, and we want help really our customers, but motivated in users. Keep going. We have been shaped, mentored, groomed, helped trained by our seniors, the senior software engineers. They help us as juniors to grow, and we dream about working on full stack modern cloud-native software. And that's us. And this is what actually motivates us to keep going.

Now, security and risk, often they follow you. Okay? And follow you for what? You fill documents and you fill templates, and you tick some tick boxes. Instead of working on full-time, i d e, now you start working on Excel sheets. Now, sometimes you get to meet your new friends. Imagine who's this, as your response is going up. Here we go. You meet the enterprise architects and they teach you the new about it, governance, security controls, policies and everything and whatnot. Now your cognitive load shoots up. Now you need to go and fix all this and you need to start filling more. Nothing to do with code but Excel sheet. Okay? Now, what is this one is all about? This is exactly our governance and compliance teams. They start throwing all the spans. Now you need to tick more boxes, talk to more people, and fill more sheets. Okay? Now what I do, every enterprise organization is like this. If developers care about flow, imagine this. Anybody here make some noise.

And this is the true state of the enterprise, IT DevOps and our C I O put something on the board and say that we are true continuous delivery organization. There we go. And most of us, we can resonate with this. And finally, once you finish your request, then you get a chance to apply to production. Okay? And then your NewQuest starts. What is that? For? Every new system that you build, every new software that you build, now you need to follow again, the same process. Keep going right now. Here we got some help. Our IT ref folks and IT revolution have published so many forum papers and books, including the latest one, the Investments Unlimited. It's for your rescue. You read it, give it to your auditing friends. Give it to your governance. And important one, please give it to your enterprise architects. They need to read about this. And with that, my name is B M K DevOps Mario Game Challenge with governance, risk and compliance. Thank you folks.
