Wednesday 10:40am - 11:50am, itSMF Service Management conference (itSMF Main Room)

Sooner or later we will all need to make the lateral shift in mindset required by challenging concepts borne out of DevOps.

DevOps is a strong leading indicator of our IT future. Your IT fundamental axioms will be challenged.
