A Decade with DORA
Nathen Harvey

DORA will publish its tenth report on software delivery performance this year, marking more than a decade of research into what it takes to build and scale high-performing technology teams.

Let's take a moment to reflect on how far we've come, celebrate the successes of today's DORA community, and make some predictions about the future.

This session will explore some of DORA's key findings including:

Speed and stability are not tradeoffs
A healthy culture is essential
Improve by alleviating your team's constraints
Software delivery performance is good for organizational outcomes and practitioner well-being

We will also look at some of DORA's neighbors, including flow metrics, the SPACE framework, and the Dimensions of DevEx.

Join us for success stories, cautionary tales, and advice about how to leverage DORA to help your team get better at getting better.

DevOps: A Way of Being
Nathen Harvey

We've been doing DevOps since before it had a name!

It's true, the word DevOps is less than 15 years old but collaboration across teams working towards shared goals has been around for much longer than that.

The DevOps community has taken lessons and insights from other disciplines.

Many argue that DevOps isn't a tool or a job title.

Let's take some inspiration from another field and explore the idea that, perhaps, DevOps is a Way of Being.
