Using Wardley Value Chain mapping to unpack Digital Transformation and it's critical dependencies on the maturity of your Software Delivery Capability. GitLab lives out this map with monthly releases of substantial Customer Value Innovation.

Recent research and writing strongly suggests "Habits Can Move Mountains... Efficiently". It appears habit changes can do so at a low marginal cost while also improving quality of life.

This sessions articulates and demonstrates how GitLab DevSecOps:
- Increases Developer Flow and Joy through low friction processes.
- Fundamentally aligns with positive human habit psychology research and why it matters.
- Precisely inserts process automation innovations in existing workflows.
- Gives critical "rich context" to tap into existing motivations for voluntarily remediation.
- Is a true “shift left” through empowerment and accommodation of Developers normal workflow.
- Facilitates the fundamental human need for low friction collaboration.

If you've been to the GitLab installation page, you find yourself awash in a dizzing array of options. That's because, unlike competitors, we don't limit you in how you deploy GitLab.
However, it also raises a few questions about best practices when picking a method. Join Darwin (DarwinJS) in some perspectives on how to ensure you choose well for a production-grade implementation.
