How Observability Guides Elite DevOps Teams

Date: Thu, February 27, 2025

Location: Virtual | On Demand

DORA metrics are a powerful way to measure software delivery performance. However, they are directional, not diagnostic. They indicate whether stability and velocity are trending in the right direction but don’t tell engineering leaders why issues arise or how to fix them.

The real path to elite DevOps performance lies beyond the numbers—in observability fluency and a culture of learning. In this session, we explore practical leadership strategies for embedding observability across development and operations by:

  • Treating observability fluency as a core engineering skill by dedicating time and money to learning experiences.
  • Making observability strategy a leadership priority by aligning it with reliability and business goals.
  • Fostering a culture of shared responsibility, ensuring observability is embedded across development and operations.
