DevOps Experimentation and High Trust Culture

• High trust culture recognizes that we are all lifelong learners and learn from both success and failures, like trying new foods to figure out what we like and dislike.

• We learn through experimentation.

• As we alley this to DevOps, looking at our flow and measuring our key metrics, we are ready to start experimenting to see what helps us improve our flow, key metrics, or both.

• We should approach these experiments scientifically: state what we want to test, how we plan to try it, how we will determine whether it was a success.

• Unfortunately, this often shows U as some percentage of time each week that is blocked for both experiments and improving the system.

• When I have seen teams given this time to try out new ideas, I've seen unique ideas proven and later worked into the product or service to great success.

• The results of experiments are typically only shared for successes, if they are shared at all.
