I’m returning to DevOpsCon Munich to give my talk Gamify It Until You Make It: Improving Agile Development and Operations With Gamification.

Improving Agile Development and Operations With Gamification

So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how?

Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.

In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with. The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs. By playing games, you can learn from each other.

Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings. Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
