How Do We Better Sell DevOps? - PuppetConf 2013

In this talk, I will share my top lessons learned over my years studying high performing IT organizations on how to sell the value of DevOps, and help other stakeholders and executives have their own a-ha moments. I will talk about specific stories about the circumstances that led to these a-ha moments, how they created DevOps champions in surprising places (e.g., Development, CTOs, Product Management, UX, Infosec) in organizations you'll recognize, and how they enabled implementing DevOps patterns that had awesome results.

I find the speaker a bit too fast and hard to understand.
