From July thru September of 2019, the Justice Sector’s ISB took a service design approach to DevOps enablement. Our objective was to learn how we can better enable DevOps within the Justice Sector, and across BC Government, by gaining a deeper understanding of the unique challenges a DevOps Specialist and their many stakeholders face while working in the BC Public Service. We conducted three workshops, and a dozen interviews with DevOps Specialists (vendor contractors), Ministry Information Security Officers (MISO), Mid-Tier specialists, Application / Solution Architects, Client Portfolio Managers, Product Owners, and others across the Information Services Branch. What we came up with was the Journey of Bjorn, a DevOps Specialist, which presented many lessons learned, new opportunities, processes and roles to improve the DevOps experience within the BC Public Service. Who will benefit from attending? Any role that is tied to software development in the Public Service. The Journey of Bjorn covers the legacy software conflict, and how both streams exist. Need to know If you know what DevOps is, great! The talk is an overview. Understand the basic concept of Service Design is helpful. If you know what a Site Reliability Engineer does, even better! The DevOps Vs Site Reliability Engineer is an excellent 5-minute overview video of DevOps and Site Reliability. Presenter Justin Hewitt is currently on a temporary assignment as Product Owner of Integration and DevOps Enablement with the Information Systems Branch in the Ministry of Attorney General. As a Product Owner he works closely with Agile and DevOps teams developing system integration microservice architectures connecting internal and external systems in the Justice Sector. He is working on DevOps enablement, DevSecOps as a stakeholder in the Next Generation Security Project, the sector’s Integration Strategy, and consulting on Artificial Intelligence Challenge for five Justice sector projects.

Petra’s background as a social worker makes her unique and brings with it the understanding that all change comes from individuals. Petra understands that people’s choices are directly influenced by their motivations, be they external or internal. She can get inside an organization quickly by immediately connecting with people and goes to where the work is. Petra can quickly build trust with a team by seeking understanding of their perspectives, and lead them in a direction where they see value for themselves, their product and their organization. She believes every Agile adoption is as unique as every individual and therefore she varies her approach to each specific context.
