Dr. Suzette Johnson and Robin Yeman joined the DC Lean + Agile Meetup on Wednesday, January 10th at 12pm ET.
Topic:
Agile and DevOps practices continue to challenge the status quo and improve mission and business outcomes. Over the years we have seen how these practices have worked well in software and now we are learning how to scale these principles and practices across large, complex communications and cyber-physical systems composed of hardware, firmware, and software.
We bring together the concepts of Lean, Agile, and DevOps and apply them across all functions within the value stream. This new way of working and set of principles has been defined as Industrial DevOps. Industrial DevOps offers the ability to adapt to changing needs, reduce cycle time for delivery, increase value for money, and leverage innovation.
During this talk you will become familiar with the Industrial DevOps principles in the context of cyber-physical systems and a few case studies that demonstrate the successful implementation of these principles.
For some of you these principles may already be part of your environment and you will resonate with the potential they offer; for others, these principles will be a paradigm shift in ways of working to reduce risk, improve results, and deliver value at the speed of relevance.
