Destroying DevOps Culture Anti-Patterns

DevOps is a set of practices and culture that an organization uses to deliver operational excellence. DevOps should not just be teams, tools, or things you hire a consultant for. In a development or operations practice, an anti-pattern is a behavior that crops up, which hinders the best efforts of a project or organization. Learn to how to identify these DevOps Culture Anti-patterns, and then attack them in specific ways to resolve these issues.

* Tribal Knowledge
* Super Hero Culture
* Silos
* Centralized Decision Making
* Quality at the end of the development process
* Information Hoarding
* Manual processes

How you respond to and learn to change from failures will determine the outcome of your journey. A DevOps journey is just that, a road in which the final state is always reset once you cross the finish line and head towards the new goal.
