From Deming to DevOps - John Willis | IDPCON

Years before Eli Goldratt would publish his Theory of Constraints, William Edwards (Ed) Deming was applying statistical analysis and physics to fix problems with productivity. In this session, John Willis, co-author of ‘The DevOps Handbook’, and author of ‘Demings Journey to Profound Knowledge,’ introduces you to Deming’s life and research, and shows you how his work still heavily influences DevOps and Platform Engineering today. From the real-life Rosie the Riveter to a hacker writing US cybersecurity law, Deming’s ingenuity and system of thinking, the System of Profound Knowledge, changed how we think in the modern world.
