We Fear Change

Changing how 10 people work is difficult. Changing how 5,000 is near impossible. If you’re trying to move beyond your initial success at transforming how your organization builds and runs software, you’re experienced this problem.

I have a short presentation on this topic going over why I think that in IT organizations and some ways to address those problems.

In the talk, I usually recommend avoiding building your own platform and mention the one I work on, the Tanzu Platform.

Here are slides from a recent version of this talk at SREDay Amsterdam 2024.
