Over the last few years, there have been major advancements in DevOps practices, including Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and public and private clouds.

We also have seen companies and organizations introduce DevOps principles at a growing scale, moving from small teams to enterprise-wide implementations.

On the technical side, the advancement has been remarkable, but there is a fundamental aspect many teams fail to consider: Is the move to a DevOps model reflected in business results? In a world dominated by revenue growth and ROI, is the investment in a technical and cultural shift worth the effort?

Join this web seminar to discover how successful DevOps implementation and execution have driven positive business results for companies and organizations of various sizes.

Learn:

1. The requirements to implement DevOps across a large organization
2. How successful DevOps programs are supported by the company’s leadership and culture
3. How a DevOps implementation can drive revenue and improve efficiency

Building trust and credibility as a project manager with colleagues, management, and clients takes time, commitment, and consistency.

It means connecting and building meaningful relationships that over time reveal character, values, and trustworthiness.

This can be especially difficult while juggling multiple projects, sharing resources, and managing toward tight deadlines.

Though it won’t happen overnight, there are some steps you can take to help make a great first impression and get you started on the right path in those relationships.

Incorporating trust-building habits and making them second nature will help you build a reputation of integrity and rock-solid dependability over time.

In this webinar Marie will discuss techniques to help you:

•  Make the right first impression.
• Build on that first impression to grow credibility over time.
• Address and repair when trust is broken.
