The 2020 State of DevOps Report already showed how developer self-service is highly correlated with an advanced DevOps setup. In the latest 2021 report, the data doubles down on this trend. Platform teams that drive self-service capabilities throughout the organization are identified as a key element to success.

Nigel will present Puppet findings and discuss:

Why enterprises are held back from evolving to the highest DevOps levels by organizational structure and dynamics.
Why highly evolved firms use platform teams as the most effective way to manage team cognitive load at scale.
How great platform teams scale out the benefits of DevOps initiatives.

After a 30 minutes talk, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A. We’d like to encourage you to submit your questions in advance.

A recording of the webinar and related materials will be shared with webinar attendees afterwards.

Audience - who should join?

DevOps Engineers, Platform Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, System Engineers, Infrastructure Kubernetes Administrators, Technical Architects, Application Developers with an affinity with DevOps and Technical Management.
