The DevOps Institute Announces the Launch of New DevOps Leader (DOL)

Certification Course

Successful candidates of the new the DevOps Practitioner role-based course will earn the DevOps
Leader (DOL) certification.

Boca Raton, FL, July 13, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The DevOps Institute (DOI), the continuous learning
community around emerging DevOps practices, training and certification, is proud to announce the
launch of a new certification: DevOps Leader (DOL). This unique course provides the insights,
techniques and innovative approaches needed by modern IT leaders involved in a DevOps cultural
transformation within their organization. DevOps Leader is the newest certification in the DevOps
Institute's DevOps Practitioner certification series and will be delivered by DOI's global channel of
Registered Education Partners.

The DevOps Leader course was authored by Mustafa Kapadia (@MKapadiaTweets), a well-respected
DevOps service line leader and digital transformation expert. Kapadia designed the course around the
ideal DevOps Leader--a tactical or strategic individual who helps design, influence, implement or
motivate the cultural transformation proven to be a critical success factor in DevOps adoption. The most
successful DevOps leaders understand the human dynamics of cultural change and are equipped with
practices, methods, and tools to engage people across the DevOps spectrum. The need for
transformational leaders was also cited in the recently published 2017 State of DevOps Report from
Puppet Labs and DORA and is addressed in this course.

Through DevOps, organizations can bring software to market faster, with better quality, fewer defects,
reduced risk and shortened lead times, says Kapadia. This course is essential for any IT professional
involved in transforming their enterprises' digital strategy.

IT team leaders, managers, directors, business stakeholders, practitioners and change agents, tool
providers and systems integrators, and DevOps consultants will find this course particularly helpful as
they explore key DevOps leadership topics, including:

DevOps and time to market

Business and IT perspectives

Key differences between DevOps IT and traditional IT

Planning and organization

Performance and culture

Measurement differences

The DevOps Leader course exemplifies the true meaning of being an effective DevOps Leader, said
Jayne Groll, CEO of the DevOps Institute. This is not your typical leadership management class. The
content represents the most current and emerging practices that are delivering real value to real
organizations. After taking DOL, candidates will be equipped to lead an innovative DevOps
transformation within their organization, which will enable them to deliver high-quality software faster
and more frequently.
