What Happens Without Traction?

What Happens Without Traction?

What if you're not the CTO and you want to improve your quality, performance and stability.
This is my story of working within low buy-in, legacy, siloed organizations to break down barriers, blur borders and eliminate constraints. I’ll also tie in material from ‘Driving Technical Change’ and ‘Building a DevOps Culture’

We’ll cover:
- tribes and guilds vs teams
- winning trust and building confidence
- simple risk and roi
- low impact tools
