People need to understand your change if they are going to lead it. To gain buy-in for transformation, leaders have to be able to clearly articulate the reason for change, the desired end-state, and demonstrate the new way of working for individuals and teams.

It reflects the ‘old normal’, where people work in isolation and struggle to deliver value to the customer. Through a cycle of continuous improvement, the participants discover for themselves ways to improve:
Game play with DevOps practices widely recognised as the foundation to a company’s digital transformation, successful adoption is a necessity. The largest single barrier to this is organisational culture.
The award-winning DevOps simulation is a role-based workshop, focused on the software development and deployment lifecycle. Generally 12-25 people take part and split into a number of roles:
In three rounds, working across teams, each role completes tasks and reviews their results.
Round 1: Work is badly organised, teams are disconnected and isolated, progress is slow, and errors are frequent and significant. Ultimately the business performs poorly in market.
Round 2: Work is organised, prioritised and tracked. Development, testing, and operations teams are more aligned, identifying errors earlier in the cycle and resolving these quickly. The customer is engaged throughout the process and more value is delivered to the business.
Round 3: Automation and virtualisation technologies deliver greater throughput and increased quality. Technical debt is managed and reduced. Teams are well aligned, not just with each other but with the business.
The simulation game interface tracks real time data:
