If you want to use rituals as a powerful tool, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, you need to understand that a ritual is neither a routine nor a habit. This presentation will explain the difference and why rituals are good for fostering habits. Second, you need to learn that rituals are only powerful when they have meaning for people. You can’t buy rituals off the shelf; you have to develop them yourself or tailor popular rituals to your own needs.

Taking a look at the “graveyard” of DevOps where all unsuccessful attempts to adopt this modern apporach are buried, we will discover that all of them have also stories to tell. These are stories about why they failed – stories we all could learn from. We will discover that a lot of stories will be about bad habits and behavior, about ego and the fear of losing power, about good ideas with bad approaches – about us, the humans!
