DevOps Culture Simulation

(with Lego, Chocolate and Scrum Game)

​

DevOps Culture (with LEGO and Chocolate game) is a gamified simulation designed to clarify the “Why” and the “What” of DevOps and facilitate development of solid foundational understanding of DevOps Culture. Created with Training from the Back of the Room method, it uses principels of congnitive neuroscience to maximize engagement and learning retention.

 

In this powerful role-based simulation, participants experience how a large organization works prior to, during and after embracing DevOps culture. They see the benefits of upskilling, learn to eliminate silos, implement "shift left" on security, adopt systems thinking and practice optimizing the flow of value from business to development and to IT operations.  

 

Through numerous debriefing opportunities (with Liberating Structures), participants connect their learning from the simulation with real-life examples, every day business challenges, and identify actionable next steps toward improvement.  

 

What makes this workshop standout is its ability to deliver highly technical content in a very engaging and simple format, making it equally effective with technical and non-technical audiences alike.

Originally created in 2014, this workshop has been facilitated in fifteen countries at various conferences and organizations (including a number of US Fortune 100 companies).

 
USA, Canada, Brazil, Finland, Russia, Germany, Portugal, Czech Republic, Japan, Israel, South Africa, Colombia, Uruguay, China - this list continues to grow as more trained facilitators bringing it to their clients worldwide.
