The DevOps Enterprise Journal: Spring 2021

By Jon Smart, Bryan Finster, Thomas Limoncelli, Eileen Uchitelle

White Papers from the 2020 DevOps Enterprise Summits

In the Spring 2021 issue of the DevOps Enterprise Journal you’ll find an experiential report from Eileen Uchitelle at GitHub, a case study on psychological safety at Boeing, a call for low-context DevOps, and an integrated approach to improving software value delivery.

Since 2014, we’ve been assembling the DevOps Enterprise Summit in the US and UK, a conference for technology leaders of large, complex organizations implementing DevOps principles and practices. The presentations at these events emphasize the evolving business, technical, and architectural practices, and the methods needed to successfully lead widespread change efforts in large organizations. The goal has always been to give leaders the tools and practices they need to develop and deploy software faster and to win in the marketplace.

Now, as we expand the DevOps Enterprise Journal to two editions a year, we are bringing those same practitioners and thought leaders to share their learnings with you in the following papers, guest edited by Jonathan Smart, author of Sooner Safer Happier, business agility coach and former global business agility lead at Deloitte.

A special thanks goes to our sponsor, LaunchDarkly.
