BVDs hold promise for I&O teams to clearly demonstrate their positive impact on business priorities.

We're Listening

Those of you who have had the opportunity to sit a public class with us recently have had access to our new Learner Portal. As part of the portal design, our post class surveys are now built into your "My Learning".

As an organization very focused on Continual Service Improvement, the surveys are now more important than ever. If you have recently taken a class on the portal, and didn't complete your survey, will you please log-in and complete? If you are registered for an upcoming public class, please don't forget to complete the survey.

We are using the feedback provided to enhance your experience with the portal. If you have any questions or suggestions for how we can make completing the survey easier, please feel free to contact us. Thanks!

ITSM Academy's First DevOps Foundation Course

Please join us as we roll out our new course DevOps Foundation on September 29 in our virtual classroom. This course is four days and provides an introduction to DevOps and its goals. This course also provides attendees the ability to formulate a high-level strategy and action plan for adopting DevOps in their organization.

The experiential aspects of this class can be adapted to meet individual client requirements. This is a practitioner course and is designed to enable organizations to immediately begin applying DevOps principles to their organization. Attendees will be provided a required pre-read in advance of class. This pre-read will ensure attendees arrive with a basic understanding of DevOps purpose, goals and basic vocabulary.
