Devops in the enterprise: why Swarming can fix the problem of becoming a 3rd-line support team




As DevOps becomes increasingly established in enterprises, its practitioners are increasingly finding their products absorbed into traditional IT support structures, and themselves expected to act as part of a classic multi-tier support structure. This presentation explores the problems this creates: its siloed nature creates inefficient work-in-progress queues, and reduces cross-functional collaboration and knowledge sharing.
