Back to the Future (Backwards) – DevOps team building tips for my past self.

I’ve learnt a lot over the years being part of, and leading, software development teams. I’ve had the opportunity to work with great people in diverse organizations, employing wildly varying methodologies. Some of the organisations have been ferociously agile, others somewhat more traditional. I’ve made mistakes a plenty, learnt, improved and delivered.There may be no substitute for learning by doing, but there are certainly things I wish I’d discovered sooner. Things that would have improved efficiency and effectiveness, or simply made some days less frustrating.In this talk I’ll share the crucial tips for success I’d give myself, if I happened to have the benefit of a time machine and a generous helping of hindsight."
