Ask the Experts: You Can't Buy DevOps, But You Can Buy Help
summary
Panel lays out actionable signs and tactics: require C‑level buy‑in plus relentless, repeated communication; prove value with small scoped pilots tied to real products and measurable KPIs; use value‑stream mapping, pipelines and automation to locate bottlenecks and show faster, safer deployments. Red flags are underinvestment, hiring consultants without cultural change, and new silos that ossify. Scale by teaching a common improvement system, sharing learnings across parallel experiments, and turning wins into executive proof points.
