DevOps is a movement in IT that has taken on the task of bringing new ways of thinking to the classical areas of development and operations. This presentation provides insight into the new movement and—using real life stories—shows how agile thinking can be extended now that a general awareness of SCRUM is relatively widespread. 

Schlomo Schapiro provides an overview of the subject and reports on DevOps successes at ImmobilienScout24. After 2 years of agile thinking in development, it has become clear that the classical division of power (Plan – Build –Run) is no longer viable. Requirements and expectations in both development and operations have changed, necessitating a new form of cooperation. 

The presentation is aimed at employees and managers at IT and Web companies interested in agile methods of working together and cross-functional teams. It is less about technical accomplishments (which tend to be used here as illustrative examples) and more about the way the DevOps idea can advance the enterprise, winning over employees within and outside the IT departments.
The presentation will be held in German or English. The participants can choose the language.

The event will take place at c-base in Berlin. c-base is located in the heart of Berlin on the banks of the river Spree and is easily accessible (see directions). You will find the video of the talk on our YouTube Channel afterwards.

Interested colleagues and external guests can register with a formless e-mail to techtalk@remove-this.developergarden.com by November 23, 2011 at the latest. The event begins at 7 pm. Attendance is free and drinks and snacks are provided.
