The workshop process

Before: intake

Preparing the workshop, we'll discuss which modules make the most sense for your team. We can then also survey the team members for their prior knowledge, understanding, and personal learning objectives.

The event

On-site, or on-line, we will engage in collaborative activities that emphasize experience over passive consumption. Your team members will work together on a variety of assignments to illustrate the cloud and DevOps culture shift, and how it applies to their own situation.

Continuous

After the workshop, your team will have continuous access to all the workshop materials, and more, and can participate in regular online community meetings.
