Melanie Harker: "Change the Script: Deploy Improv not Devops." The cornerstone of bringing together "development" and "operations" is collaboration. Collaboration sounds great on paper, but when the scales tip, you may end up with anarchy, or a dictatorship. How do you balance all of that while still managing to get things done? Enter: improv. Learn from theatre artist Melanie Harker how to taking a more fluid and fun approach to your DevOps work will allow you to build empathy, a common language, and ultimately, an environment for innovation to cultivate. Billy Poggi: "DevOps Takes All Kinds: A Talk about Culture." This will be about the larger culture, lessons learned from previous mistakes through stories along with technical solutions that I've implemented. Referencing how we used what we had with the time we had to make it all work and deliver as a team. • 8:45 - 9:00 - Networking
