Course Overview

Top

Agile, Scrum, DevOps, and Lean IT enable the realization of the customer value more rapidly than traditional methods. Like all other hyper growth trends in our IT industry, adoption of DevOps is also not immune to potential misunderstandings and misconceptions. Besides the relevant tooling and technology component, DevOps predominantly entails a cultural shift towards a new mindset, behaviors, a new organization, and a new way of working. Organizations which do not truly comprehend the essence of DevOps end up with transformational failures, often leading away from the value of DevOps. A certified DASA DevOps Coach qualification extends the skills of any professional in a DevOps environment to help team members and other stakeholders in the organization apply DevOps concepts and principles within their organization.
