Jay Lyman 451 ResearchBrent Beer GitHubSteven Anderson Sendachi talk about these topics: Cloud, DevOps, agile development capability and adoption of containers are all important in both perception and reality. Enterprise adoption of cloud computing, DevOps, agile development and containers are all growing, including production use. Modernizing applications to SaaS & migrating them to the cloud are equally important as net-new, so-called ‘cloud-native’ applications. Advantages and benefits of these technologies and methodologies center on: flexibility and speed, cost reduction, improvements in resiliency and reliability and fitness for new/emerging applications. Barriers center on: lack of internal skills, immaturity, lack of familiarity, satisfaction with current technology, cost and security.

What is GitHub?
• GitHub is the platform for collaboration for developers
• It’s not just some place for holding your code, but it’s where you talk
about your code, and find out what you’re shipping next
• It’s where people experiment on new ideas and before those
experiments go live, they communicate to the correct teams to let
them know about those ideas
• It’s what you plug your tools into to keep everyone in the loop and
save on context switches

Increasing Developer Happiness
• Let developers focus on the code not the meeting
• Let the developers use the tools that they are comfortable with and
happy with
• Microsoft said in 2015, “We have been absolutely thrilled with the
pull-requests we have been receiving.”

What Do Enterprises Need to Accomplish?
• Solve the hard problems
• Accelerate development efforts
• Reduce costs
• Eliminate the barriers between business and tech
• Execute against strategy for more effectiveness in a technology
driven competitive environment
• Drive the perpetual creation of lasting value through real change
• Pair up to educate and enable continued evolution

Here’s the Current State
• Industry is in the midst of a sea change where software development is a highly integrated
activity across the business
• The creation of software is becoming less segregated/individualized and more
collaborative/socialized
• Formerly novel concepts around methodologies, tools, technologies and frameworks are
now proven value drivers:
• Agile
• Lean
• XP
• Microservices
• Virtualization/containerization
• Cloud
• Automation

GitHub Represents an Enterprise Inflection Point
• As enterprises demand greater responsiveness the following is
necessary:
• Large teams broken down into a matrix of smaller teams working
more efficiently on smaller pieces
• Increased collaboration and visibility across the software
development domain is the MOST CRITICAL component of success
• The lines between technical and formerly non-technical
contributions need to be blurred (i.e. document sharing along side
coding as part of the same value chain process)

27. www.sendachi.com
What Needs to Change?
• To take full advantage of the power of GitHub as the nexus of your collaborative software development efforts, your organization needs to:
• Culturally embrace collaboration as a key tenet
• Executive/leadership sponsorship and support
• Internal evangelism
• Train at the IC, team and organizational levels on the value that collaboration creates, not just on the use of the tool
• Train on how GitHub can be used to facilitate collaboration and visibility
• Consistently reiterate that collaborative software/product development on Github creates value for the developers, for the team, for the company and for the
customers
• Showcase wins where GitHub and collaboration created:
• Reduced effort
• More velocity
• Less time/money/effort required to do more of the right things
• Higher customer satisfaction
• Higher quality
• Restructure teams if necessary, modeling after team structures (internal or external examples) that more effectively exemplify value creation and execution
against goals
• Skills blended teams (across functional areas) with common goals
• All team members utilizing GitHub as the platform of record
• Tune/modify methodologies if necessary
• Make the KPIs visible
• Cycle times
• Customer sat
• Overall effort
