Leading technical organisations has become more and more challenging as technologies evolve ever more quickly and best practices have become very contextual. How do we empower Agile teams to be self-managed and yet create sufficient guardrails to keep technology manageable. What seems easy at team level turns out to be ever more difficult the more we scale it up. Guidance from the industry can be diametrically opposed as you can find people advocating to have DevOps teams or not to have DevOps team, to create a common tooling architecture or leave it up the teams, to use maturity models or avoid them at all costs.
To be successful we can take guidance from Agile principles and apply them to the DevOps world. Ideas like systems thinking, visual management and the scientific method of experimentation provide the basis on which we can master DevOps leadership.
