So you've merged Dev and Ops, but what comes next? Six real-world examples of how teams adopt DevOps

The WirelessCar DevOps journey began in 2016 with the merging of the Development and Operations departments, but this was only the beginning of a multi-year journey for our teams in adopting the DevOps culture and practices.

In this talk we provide practicable and actionable tips and insights from this journey through the eyes of different teams in WirelessCar's 500-person development and product delivery organisation, exploring different facets of DevOps and then show through real examples of how we have adopted them.

Some of these examples include shared responsibilities and ownership, improving through the use of the DevOps Health Radar, using the DORA metrics, the work of enabler teams, increasing the number of deploys while ensuring a high level of quality, and the role of Susan Wheelan's IMDG and GDQ tools for Team Development to build high-performing teams.

We also give details on the organisational support we give our teams to enable their adoption of DevOps, and at the same time ensure compliance with standards and regulations, with a high level of security and quality.

How a culture of freedom and autonomy became a success factor in our DevOps journey.

In WirelessCar’s DevOps journey, we faced the challenges of needing to work with different programs, each with their own solutions and levels of legacy code, different ways of working and unique challenges, in an industry that still relies on traditional manufacturing ways of working, has stringent compliance and regulation requirements, and security is paramount.

What was a key success factor in the transformation was working with our company’s flat structure and culture of freedom and autonomy. We give our teams and our Agile leaders the knowledge and tools to not just understand DevOps, but the ability to move forward in their adoption and improve their day-to-day work.
