You can’t use tools to fix culture and enterprise culture is what prevents 99% of enterprises from embracing a change to DevOps which is itself - a culture and collection of values. This is the same reason the vast majority of enterprises that claim to “practise” Agile - aren’t agile at all.

I used to think they’d catch up, but after 18 years in tech it’s clear now that they can’t and it’s unfortunate that the vast majority of them are too big to fail so we can get rid of so much of the dead weight we could be investing our energy and creativity on.

Yes, DevOps is first culture & values. Without a mindset/value shift, the best tools won't help. Teams need to spend more time on articulating and communicating the purpose before getting caught in the implementation bits.
