Low Context DevOps


Helping DevOps find answers faster

 

About The Webinar

Problem:
Knowledge frustration is when siloed knowledge blocks you from doing your job. Yes, you can escalate or bother another coworker, but wouldn’t it be better if you had the instructions you needed when you needed it? Knowledge frustration is common for new people getting up to speed, experienced people moving between projects, and on call engineers that receive an alert they’ve never seen before.

Solution:
In this talk, I’ll show how to use the anthropology concept of high-context/low-context societies to eliminate knowledge frustration on DevOps/SRE teams. The result is improved productivity, continuous improvement, and a more enjoyable work environment.

You'll Learn

  • What are high and low-context cultures 
  • Why DevOps should strive to be low-context
  • 3 ways you can reduce the context of your DevOps environment
