Overview of this book

DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift features many different real-world practices - some people-related, some process-related, some technology-related - to facilitate successful DevOps, and in turn OpenShift, adoption within your organization. It introduces many DevOps concepts and tools to connect culture and practice through a continuous loop of discovery, pivots, and delivery underpinned by a foundation of collaboration and software engineering. Containers and container-centric application lifecycle management are now an industry standard, and OpenShift has a leading position in a flourishing market of enterprise Kubernetes-based product offerings. DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift provides a roadmap for building empowered product teams within your organization. This guide brings together lean, agile, design thinking, DevOps, culture, facilitation, and hands-on technical enablement all in one book. Through a combination of real-world stories, a practical case study, facilitation guides, and technical implementation details, DevOps Culture and Practice with OpenShift provides tools and techniques to build a DevOps culture within your organization on Red Hat's OpenShift Container Platform.

We even started the Discovery of our How by commencing some Event Storming, Non-Functional Mapping, and Metrics-Based Process Mapping. We did all of this to gather just enough information and just enough collective, shared understanding to derive some measurable Target Outcomes.

We used these Target Outcomes to guide our way through the Options Pivot. We explored several prioritization techniques and practices such as User Story Mapping, Value Slicing, impact and effort prioritization, how/now/wow prioritization, design sprints, and weighted-short-job-first to produce our initial Product...
