We Need DevOps Now
▪ We want all those benefits from “more DevOps”…
▪ But how do we get “more DevOps” so we can get those benefits?
▪ Big Realization: You already have DevOps within your
organization – it’s just not evenly distributed
11
Vertically
▪ Convincing your team
(down) and your boss (up)
▪ Well-known, visible, formal
relationships
▪ Based on authority
Horizontally
▪ Connecting to colleagues
(across)
▪ Informal power structures
and social networks
▪ Based on influence
Scaling DevOps
12
This Webinar Is For You If…
▪ You believe in the benefits of DevOps
▪ You want to build and promote grassroots DevOps efforts within your organization
▪ You’ve had small DevOps successes – like with a single team or project
▪ You’re aware of some like-minded people and groups within your organization, but you don’t
know who they all are
▪ You lack a significant span of control (i.e., you’re not an executive)
▪ You want to build a “coalition of the willing”

Dimensions of Transformational Leadership
14
Your Strategies for Scaling DevOps Horizontally
1. Share: “I provide opportunities to share knowledge and make
success visible.”
2. Communicate: “I create common communication channels.”
3. Standardize: “I increase standardization and consistency of
processes and tools.”
4. Empower: “I develop leadership capacity.”
15
1. Share
▪ Provide opportunities to share knowledge and make success
visible
▪ Help like-minded allies find you
▪ Advertise the real, practical, relevant benefits of DevOps within
your organization
▪ Avoid debate of academic, hypothetical, “we’re different”
16
▪ “Show and Tells”
▪ Demo Days
▪ Webinars
▪ Internal Open Source
▪ Dojos
▪ [Picture Here]
1. Share: Tactics
17
▪ Answer “What’s in it for
me?” for your audience
▪ Connect the dots so it’s
easy to see why their
participation is valuable to
them
▪ [Picture Here]
1. Share: Pro Tip – “What’s in it for me?”
18
Target
Ross Clanton and Heather Mickman
hosted internal DevOps Days events
Verizon
Nanda Kumar gamified DevOps by
creating “DevOps Cup” competition
1. Share: Examples – Target and Verizon
19
2. Communicate
▪ Create common “go to” communication channels that focus,
facilitate, and encourage collaboration
▪ Make it easy for people to find information they need, share
knowledge they’ve discovered, and communicate with like-
minded people
▪ Avoid fragmentation and factions
20
▪ Wikis and intranets
▪ Chat rooms
▪ Email lists
▪ Newsletters and mass
education
▪ [Picture Here]
2. Communicate: Tactics
21
▪ Use stories with a
beginning, middle, and end
▪ Make it visual with
graphics, logos, stickers
▪ Include numbers and
metrics for evidence
▪ [DOES]
▪ [stickers]
▪ [SODR]
2. Communicate: Pro Tip – Good Marketing
22
3. Standardize
▪ Increase standardization and consistency of language,
processes, and tools
▪ Adoption because people want to – not because they have to
▪ “Make the right thing the easy thing”
▪ Respect individual flexibility
23
▪ Standardize common services
▪ Scorecard
▪ Experimentation
▪ Common language
▪ Adopt rogue apps
▪ [Picture Here]
3. Standardize: Tactics
24
Merck
Jason Victor adopted one team’s
unsanctioned issue and task
management suite and promoted it
Google
Mike Bland used “Rainbow of Death” to
change culture around automated
testing
3. Standardize: Examples – Merck and Google
25
4. Empower
▪ Develop leadership capacity
▪ Find individuals whose contributions stand out from their peers
▪ Visible and not-so-visible
▪ Be proactive and reach out
26
▪ Identify leaders
▪ Mentor leaders
▪ Promote influence across
groups
▪ Create impactful roles
▪ [Picture Here]
4. Empower: Tactics
27
4. Empower: Pro Tip – Keep An Open Mind
▪ Don’t dismiss the counterintuitive
▪ Experiment to find out what really works (and what really
doesn’t)
▪ Treat failures as learning opportunities
▪ Incorporate ideas from others to increase their buy-in
28
Tasktop
Mik Kersten helped team members visualize
the value stream, which highlighted
bottlenecks – and identified big contributors
4. Empower: Example – Tasktop
29
Leadership Matters
▪ Teams with the least amount of transformational leadership
behaviors (the bottom third) were one-half as likely to be high
IT performers
▪ But leaders cannot do it alone! Teams with the top 10% of
transformational leaders performed no better than the median

▪ Change is risky
▪ Taking risks requires
courage
▪ Courage is a characteristic
of every great hero
