PeopleCert DevOps-Foundation Exam Dumps

Coercive communication (using force or threat) is not a transformational leadership dimension. Transformational leaders:

Inspire vision

Recognize contributions

Stimulate new ideas (intellectual stimulation)

Foster intrinsic motivation

Extract-style reference: ''Transformational leadership builds trust, motivates by vision, provides intellectual stimulation, and recognizes individuals---not by coercion, but by inspiration.'' --- Transformational Leadership (James Burns), PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6

When work is delayed due to resource availability or local optimizations causing global degradation, the issue relates to The First Way---maximizing flow from left to right. Organizations should analyze and remove bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline (e.g., in testing).

Extract-style reference: ''Optimizing the flow of work requires eliminating bottlenecks, delays, and handoffs that slow the movement of changes from development to operations.'' --- The Phoenix Project DevOps Foundation courseware discusses value stream mapping and the First Way as critical tools for diagnosing and correcting such issues.

Theory of Constraints is a methodology that seeks to identify the single, most important limiting factor (constraint) in a process and systematically improve it until it's no longer the limiting factor.

Extract-style reference: ''The Theory of Constraints provides a powerful framework for identifying bottlenecks (constraints) that limit system performance and focusing improvement efforts on these areas to maximize throughput.'' --- Goldratt's Theory of Constraints DevOps Foundation syllabus discusses this as a foundational Lean concept, directly applicable to software delivery pipelines, where delays or resource shortages can restrict overall throughput.

Manufacturing is not a type of IT work in DevOps. DevOps classifies IT work as:

Business projects: New value-creating work.

Planned work: Routine, repeatable tasks (maintenance, upgrades).

Unplanned work: Incidents, emergencies, support.

Extract-style reference: ''IT work includes business projects, planned work, and unplanned work. Manufacturing is an analogy for flow, but not a category of IT work itself.'' --- The Phoenix Project PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Recognizes these three categories to manage and improve IT workloads.

Both B and C (Application of agile and lean methods + Management commitment to culture change) are critical success factors when launching DevOps in a traditional IT organization.

Agile/Lean methods: Accelerate delivery, reduce waste, create feedback.

Management commitment to culture change: Essential for breaking silos, changing behaviors, and making DevOps sustainable.

Forming a pilot team (A) helps, but isn't sufficient without these foundations.

Extract-style reference: ''DevOps success starts with leadership commitment to cultural change and adopting Agile and Lean principles throughout the organization.'' --- DevOps Handbook, State of DevOps Report PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Lists cultural commitment and Lean/Agile as prerequisites for DevOps transformation.
