The Caretaker Model: Take over responsibility from idea to feedback
The Agile Software Development Manifesto calls for finding better ways to develop software.
We left Scrum behind because, among other things, we learned faster than the sprint was long, and the sprint blocked us more than it supported us. We needed a more adaptive approach that focuses on feedback.
We found a way of working that better supports us by separating the cycles for planning, improvement, retrospectives, delivery, and feedback. And the opportunity for every team member to contribute from start to finish has greatly increased team motivation. Finally, focusing on flow allowed us to reduce synchronisation points, such as meetings and handovers, and to gain significant efficiency. This is the Caretaker Model.
In this presentation, I explain how the Caretaker Model works, why it suits us much better, and why it might suit you and your team as well.

Has SRE Become a New Ops?
Google set the bar high, but we have seen in the industry that SRE practices have often been misused, and many organizations just rebrand DevOps teams into SRE teams. In this talk, Oleg briefly walks through the history of SRE, why many have seen a silver bullet in it, and possible causes why many people think that SRE is just modern Ops.
