Guest speaker

The key to high performing tech orgs

High performing organisations don’t trade off quality, throughput and reliability. Instead, they work to improve all these factors and use their software delivery capability to drive organisational performance.

In this talk, Jez Humble will present the results from DevOps Research and Assessment’s five-year research program. Jez will also explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure, so you focus on what’s important and can communicate progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders. After all, great outcomes don’t realise themselves.
