DevOps Leadership (By PeopleCert)

Overview

Duration: 2 days

Learn the concepts, terms, principles and tools used by DevOps Leadership to approach, validate and sustain a DevOps cultural transformation.

DevOps (a clipped compound of "development" and "operations") is a software development approach to work that combines software development (Dev) with information technology operations (Ops). The goal of DevOps is to shorten the systems development life cycle while delivering software releases frequently, in close alignment with business objectives in a faster, better, and cost-efficient way.

The Leadership level of the PeopleCert DevOps qualifications scheme is aimed at anyone who is managing a DevOps team or aspiring to lead a cultural shift towards DevOps practices. The main goal of the course is to learn how to manage a team culture shift and how to introduce unfamiliar workflow processes across more than one team.

During the course, candidates will examine how the Full Stack approach can be engaged and implemented within the organisation, why DevOps Leadership is needed in modern enterprises, and how it can be aligned to business value delivery. The PeopleCert DevOps Leadership course equips candidates with solid knowledge regarding the practices, processes, automation and technology used for adapting DevOps within an organisation, along with Scrum methodology, people and their cultural implications.
