This conference talk from DevOpsDays NYC 2018 explores how Verizon implemented engineering dojos to accelerate DevOps adoption across their organization. Learn how these dedicated learning environments, inspired by traditional dojos as "the place of the way," combine coaching, hands-on practice, and evaluation to transform knowledge into wisdom. Discover the structured approach used in these 6-week engagements with short 2.5-day sprints that help teams address real challenges. The presentation covers key techniques including story mapping to establish shared understanding of desired outcomes, creating visual maps that benefit the entire delivery lifecycle, focusing on testability first to maximize test coverage, and practical implementation of code redesign, CI pipelines, branching strategies, and AWS integration. Manish Patel shares valuable lessons from Verizon's transformation journey that are applicable to any organization undergoing DevOps adoption, particularly addressing the crucial cultural and communication aspects that are vital to successful DevOps implementation.
