SUMMARY:DevOps Monthly Online: Policy as [versioned] Code - how to do day 2
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\n• 5:00 PM - Check in and hang out\n• 5:05 PM - Lea
 n Coffee Chat/Presentation\n• 5:25 PM - Lean Coffee Chat/Q+A\n• 5:55 P
 M - Wrap up\, Next month\n• 6:00 PM - Post-event loitering in Gather: ht
 tps://replug.link/devopstosocial\n• 6:30 PM - Adios!\n\nIn this talk\, C
 hris will trace back the origins of how policies are often incepted\, how 
 it can get out of hand\, be slow if not impossible to update and measure c
 ompliance\, and often lead us to question of **is the policy helping or hi
 ndering**. From this talk you’ll learn how to use a software development
  pattern and product ways of thinking towards how your organization can ma
 nage policy\; achieve continual updates to policy allowing the risk mitiga
 tions to move as fast as the risk does\, not get in the way and be easy to
  measure compliance.\n\nKey take aways: - Policy often causes more harm th
 an good\, is slow to update\, exemptions are harder still to manage\, meas
 uring compliance at scale is near on impossible. - Throwing some curly bra
 ces at a problem is not the solution. Policy if it is articulated as code\
 , needs to embrace all the best practices of code. - Purposeless policy is
  potentially practically pointless. (now say it 5 times quickly)\n\n**Spea
 ker:** Chris Nesbitt-Smith\n\nA developer at heart with a passion for test
 ing\, while still active in the open source community. Chris has worked ex
 tensively in critical national infrastructure where “matters of life or 
 death” is not just a flippant throwaway comment. Chris provides training
  and consulting to many UK & US Government departments\, large multination
 al private sector enterprises\, and large charities. Through all of this C
 hris has seen a lot of organizational and technical disfunction (not all o
 f his own making) and in inefficiencies\, and wants to join him in fixing 
 them.\n\nJoin our Slack: ​​https://vzbl.io/devopstoslack\nIf you'd lik
