Session Title

Simple is not always Easy

Abstract

If you have ever heard the phrase “We have a DevOps team”, it's likely you have bumped into someone who believes they are doing “Devops” or they are practicing “Devops”.

With over a decade gone since this term was coined, a lot has evolved in terms of the tooling and practices. But what is still largely downplayed is the importance of aligned organization culture.

In this talk, Sudhir will talk about his experience of witnessing incumbents, scaleups and startups take on their journey of modernization with all their buzz words in sight and often losing on the most important aspect of culture behind.
