Being responsible for IT today means more than running technology: planning budgets, managing suppliers, assessing risks, justifying investments and aligning IT with the organisation’s goals. Leadership and management skills are needed just as much as technical understanding.
In our IT Management courses, you deal with IT strategy and governance, cost and supplier management, risk assessment and compliance, and collaboration between IT and business departments. You work on case studies in which limited resources, competing requirements and deadline pressure come together.
The course conveys the latest thinking, principles and practices from the DevOps community, including real-world case studies from high-performing organisations such as ING Bank, Ticketmaster, Capital One, Alaska Air, Target, Fannie Mae, Societe Generale and Disney, designed to engage and inspire learners. Multimedia content and interactive exercises bring the learning experience to life, including the Three Ways as described in Gene Kim’s book «The Phoenix Project», as well as the latest findings from the «State of DevOps Report». Participants gain an understanding of DevOps, the cultural and professional movement that puts communication, collaboration, integration and automation first in order to improve the workflow between software developers and IT operations professionals. The course is aimed at a broad audience and enables people from the business side to gain an understanding of Kubernetes and containers. People with a technical background gain an understanding of the business benefits of DevOps: lower costs (15–25% reduction in total IT costs) with higher quality (50–70% fewer failed changes) and agility (up to 90% shorter provisioning and deployment times), supporting business goals as part of digital transformation initiatives.
In this course you will learn how security and compliance are integrated into DevOps organisations and continuous delivery workflows, rather than being checked only at the end. You will learn the purpose, benefits, concepts and terminology of DevSecOps, understand «Security as Code» and how DevSecOps roles fit into a DevOps culture. The course follows the structure of the DevSecOps Foundation (DSOF) certification from DevOps Institute (PeopleCert Group) and prepares you for the exam.
