Follow the leader: As Santa realized that the train was getting bigger and bigger, he treaded his path slowly. He avoided the cur-vaceous manoeuvres he could af-ford when he was more nimble, he paced his stride succinctly to con-tinue the journey while maintain-ing the delicate balance of holding his train together.What a delight it was to watch Santa. So often, I have seen a beau-tifully begun transformation pro-gramme fall flat due to velocity of the leader, who fails re-calibrate. An able leader is such a delight to follow and watch, it brings grace to the entire Organization.5. Magic is in the scale: Before I knew it, Santa was back on stage (in the school!) and had the mike in his hand. He gave some time for folks to settle down and then start-ed singing the eternal"Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way". He took some time to build it up and soon enough the entire campus came alive with Jingle bells. Hundreds of kids, sev-eral hundred parents and scores of Teachers, all singing along. It was truly magical. The scale of it all brought the entire thing alive. It was the most enigmatic rendi-tion of this timeless classic I've ever experienced.Scale truly delivers magic. The DevOps automation savings achieved by one team, when mul-tiplied over "n" teams and extrap-olated over a year, is magical. The collaboration benefits, when ex-tended to multiple Releases across multiple Projects is astronomical.Now that I'm back home and reflecting on the events of the day, can't help but wonder ­ is Santa a DevOps expert himself? What if he's the originator of SDLC (Santa Delivery Life Cycle)? Surely, he'll need DevOps enabled Continuous Delivery to deliver those millions of gifts overnight?Long Live, Santa Claus. Thank you for the valuable insights today! THE DEVOPS AUTOMATION SAVINGS ACHIEVED BY ONE TEAM, WHEN MULTIPLIED OVER "N" TEAMS AND EXTRAPOLATED OVER A YEAR, IS MAGICAL
