DevOps Culture Special: Exploring Culture, Neuroscience and the Workplace

There is no doubt that an open, collaborative culture is crucial to DevOps success - and it’s something the industry prides itself on. But in August 2020, Forbes questioned whether it was time for DevOps culture to “have a reality check”. In industry bible “The Phoenix Project”, Gene Kim illustrates that what really sets exceptional DevOps teams apart from merely ‘good’ ones is a commitment to continuous learning - about tools, processes and what really drives and empowers team members. Is embedding a commitment to continuous learning in DevOps teams the reality check Forbes called for?
