three main principles that form the foundation for successful DevOps orga-

Introduction
How do we decide where to start a DevOps transformation in our organization? 
Who needs to be involved? How should we organize our teams, protect their 
work capacity, and maximize their chances of succeess? These are the questions 
we aim to answer in Part II of 
The DevOps Handbook
. 
In the following chapters we will walk through the process of initiating a DevOps 
transformation. We begin by evaluating the value streams in our organization, 
locating a good place to start, and forming a strategy to create a dedicated 
transformation team with specific improvement goals and eventual expansion. 
For each value stream being transformed, we identify the work being performed 
and then look at organizational design strategies and organizational archetypes 
that best support the transformation goals.
Primary focuses in these chapters include:
• 
Selecting which value streams to start with
• 
Understanding the work being done in our candidate value streams
• 
Designing our organization and architecture with Conway’s Law 
in mind
