Dutch Railways Scaled DevOps Journey
summary
Journey starts in 2016 and scales toward 63 DevOps teams by 2020, using value stream mapping to shift from project to product, cross-functional teams with operations embedded, and in-depth coaching plus lightweight peer learning. Measures include incident and production metrics, basecamp milestones for team maturity, and a small MVP (bookings via booking.com from Schiphol to Amsterdam) that sells more tickets in month one than expected—showing continuous delivery, focus on impairments, and platform/tool freedom.
