Organizations are Agile
The “mission” of a technical operations group
changes from day to day (or week to week)
not only logistically,
but also strategically
Adaptive tactics are hard to understand and control.

Who cares?
This is probably the best question of all.

We the Agile
Fear process that we don’t own.
Fear integrating into the processes of others.
Look down on those that are not Agile.
Hey asshole: your ruining your business.

Bad ideas?Six Sigma
Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results (i.e., reduce process variation) are of vital importance to business success.
Manufacturing and business processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, improved and controlled.
Achieving sustained quality improvement requires commitment from the entire organization, particularly from top-level management
ITILv3a set of best-practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of the business.

Monitoring taught us...
Process is something that connects business with IT.
It’s a love fest.

Why it is so good.
Technologists rock.
We can answer questions of extreme magnitude.
Faster than ever before.
We’re fucking superheroes.
We’re also shitty at asking good questions.

Why else is it good?
Understanding your business and its direction is hard.
Suits happen to be full of both awesome questions
and lots and lots of data.
They also tend to make good sense of technical data.

you are most likely lying to yourself.

Numbers: how they work.Think of a car’s speedometer.
it shows you how fast you are going (sorta)
at the moment you read it (almost)
the only reason this is acceptable is:
you have a rudimentary understanding of physics,
you are in the car, and
your body is exceptionally goodat detecting acceleration.

Computers are different.
computers are fast: billions of instructions per second.
you aren’t inside the computer.
most “users” somehow forget rudimentary physics.
interfaces and visual representations mislead you.
a speedometer (or familiar readout) leads you toa false confidence in system stability between samples.

Thanks and Homework.
I travel a lot...I know now that I’m very lucky to live in Maryland.
Write your local government asking for more sane alcohol distribution regulation in your state.
And, please do your part to bring our great country into the top 10 per capita beer consuming nations.
