How Engineering and Ops Teams Use OKRs to Connect Technical Work to Business Outcomes

May 15, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Engineering and operations teams have a measurement problem that most other functions don't. The technical metrics are excellent. Deployment frequency is up. MTTR is down. Uptime is at 99.97%. The CI/CD pipeline is running cleanly and the on-call burden has been reduced by 30% since the team adopted a proper incident management process.

May 14, 2026 By Rootly In Rootly
For nine years, Maria Vechtomova was shouting about monitoring. Nobody cared, until LLMs arrived. As co-founder of Cauchy, Databricks MVP, and one of the most followed voices in MLOps, Maria has watched the field evolve from hand-built experiment trackers to today's flood of observability tools, and her central claim might surprise you: globally, nothing has changed.

Automated Release Management: From CABs to Continuous Delivery | Harness Blog

May 14, 2026 By Dewan Ahmed In Harness
The thing with Change Advisory Boards is that the intent was always good. Get smart people in a room, look at the evidence, and make sure nothing catastrophic goes out the door. In theory, that's hard to argue with. It doesn't scale in practice. Things happen between meetings. Teams rush to hit the window.

The dashboard says you can save 30%. The SRE team won’t sign off. You’ve probably been in this meeting. Finance has a number. The platform team has a scar. Somewhere between them sits a senior manager, maybe you, being asked to choose a cost optimization tool that one side will champion and the other side will quietly refuse to deploy in production.
