DFW SCRUM Day 2019: FOSTERING THE THIRD WAY

In the DevOps Handbook, Gene Kim introduces the Third Way - The Technical Practices of Continual Learning. Enter the DevOps Dojo - an immersive environment where whole teams come together to learn and practice their skills while solving real business problems.

“Teams learn better in the immersive eco-system of Dojos than they do using traditional forms of training.” There are pragmatic reasons why and how Dojos help teams bond around product, foster rapid experimentation, and reframe small failures as learning.

In this talk, I’ll frame the need for dojos. From there I will walk attendees through the dojo format, including things they need to think about when creating their own. We’ll wrap up with simple calls to actions for people to take to bring learning forward.

Come to this talk not only to learn about what works in creating a Dojo but also how Dojos help up-skill your teams and support the cultural DevOps change.
