Influencing Devops without Authority

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows a practical six-step influence without authority playbook (Cohen & Bradford) applied to DevOps: map allies, gather state of devops metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, change-fail rate, MTTR), trade value via hackathons and pipelines with baked-in guardrails, and recruit T-shaped teams. Cites industry data (elite performers triple from 2018 to 2019), describes building CI/CD (Jenkins, pipelines) and shipping a compliant pipeline that works, and tells one engineer-turned-CIO success as evidence.
