Kill the Project. Build a Team.

Session Description

Operations and Security are not temporary problems to be solved. They are capabilities to be built and improved. Yet, too many organizations try to squeeze them into projects with a Gantt chart, a budget cap, and, most dangerous, an end date.

In this Ignite talk, I will channel my (and probably our collective frustration) with the “Project Mindset.” I will argue that reliability doesn’t have an end date and that we need to stop financing temporary fixes and start building long-lived, capable teams.
