ABSTRACT
Agile and DevOps practices continue to challenge the status quo and improve mission and business outcomes. Over the years we have seen how these practices have worked well in software and now we are learning how to scale these principles and practices across large, complex communication and cyber-physical systems composed of hardware, firmware, and software. We refer to this new way of thinking and set of principles as Industrial DevOps. Industrial DevOps offers the ability to adapt to changing needs, reduce cycle time for delivery, increase value for money, and leverage innovations. For large cyber-physical solutions, software is only one part of the value stream and if we apply these principles to only one part of the value stream, the rest of the value stream quickly becomes the bottleneck impacting our ability to demonstrate and deliver frequently. When adopting Industrial DevOps principles to developing cyber-physical solutions it is important to understand flow and how we design and build in order to iterate for faster feedback and results.
Using a scenario, we will discuss: • The importance of Industrial DevOps principles, systems thinking and value stream identification for improving dynamic learning • Both culture and technical architectures considerations • Share ways for building the skills, knowledge, and experience of the workers in a high collaborative environment
