Abstract

Imagine a world where every single team member bounces into work, understands their team members, and are armed with everything needed to put their all into their product development. While this sentence may seem like it should’ve started with “Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...” the Open Practice Library can transform this dream into reality. Embark with us on an inspiring journey through the vibrant world of the Open Practice Library (OPL). This brainchild of Red Hat Open Innovation Labs was born in 2016, and has grown into a dynamic, community-driven repository housing over 200 meticulously curated DevOps practices, nurturing continuous discovery and delivery within product development. Join us on an adventure through the fabled agile sprint, planned from start to finish with OPL practices. At the destination, knowledge of how to run a successful sprint, and a brand new collection of practical tools to help you navigate the world of product development by igniting creativity and teamwork. We will share how to become an active contributor to this vibrant open source community - from adding and improving practices to sharing personal experiences or even just giving the practices a try. Explore avenues to get involved and make your mark within this collaborative space, fostering innovation and elevating collective project success.
