As digital disruption continues to impact every industry in new and unexpected ways, modern organizations face a similar dilemma — how to nimbly respond to shifting customer needs, rising expectations and competitive pressures. Today, a business's growth, and indeed survival, depends on its ability to quickly identify and deliver valuable products to customers. This means managing the combined and often conflicting demands for rapid change amidst vague constraints and complex interdependencies. Attempting to manage this complexity with a traditional waterfall approach, in which projects move along a linear and sequential path, incurs far too much risk. Cumbersome processes lead to long release cycles which slow the flow of customer features and results in loss of market share. Worse, delayed or missing feedback loops can lead to the development of features that fail to align with customer needs. To address these challenges, modern businesses are shifting their approach. But the correlation and, in some cases, intersection of The Agile approach Agile, in its simplest form, provides a set of guidelines for helping teams maintain focus on the evolving needs of the customer throughout the development cycle. By iteratively refining functionality, soliciting feedback and enhancing working increments over time, Agile empowers organizations to There are many approaches, from Scrum and Kanban to Lean Software Development, which can be applied to Agile, but it's critical to recogniz...

Many software engineering organizations around the world are adopting DevOps. One of the goals of DevOps is to foster better collaboration between development and operations personnel, in order to improve organizational efficiency. Since DevOps is lacking a common definition, there are several approaches to adopt it, and organizations largely need to determine how to apply DevOps for themselves. In this paper, we present results from a case study in which a software organization adopts DevOps. The focus of this research is to study the impact of mixing the responsibilities between development and operations engineers. We interviewed 14 employees in the organization during the study, and results indicate several benefits of the chosen approach, such as improved collaboration and trust, and smoother work flow. This comes at the cost of a number of complications, such as new sources for friction among the employees, risk for holistically sub-optimal service configurations, and more. Keywords • DevOps • Software process improvement • Adoption benefits and challenges DevOps has in recent years gained interest in the software and service development industry, and its adoption rate is expected to grow over the coming years [ The fact that DevOps is lacking a standard definition implies that there is no simple approach to follow when adopting DevOps in an organization. Adopting DevOps may thus not be a straightforward task since it may require that an organization introduces proce...

DevOps has been accepted as an industry standard for software development to promote collaboration, accelerate time-to-market, optimize costs, uphold quality, and deliver superior user experiences. However, the key challenges to the adoption of DevOps and transforming the value chain are not technology-related but more organizational and cultural. DevOps consulting services must focus on the capabilities of DevOps in making organizational changes to remain competitive and deliver value at scale. The key investments supporting ROI for enterprise DevOps transformation include creating a culture of high trust, enabling improvement, experimentation, and upskilling. However, with global business enterprises scaling up their DevOps capability to achieve competitive digital transformation, about 75% of them are likely to fail, as per Gartner. The reasons are attributable to the difficulty in managing the cultural, organizational, and people sides of the change. Even surveys and research conclude that the success of DevOps mainly depends on creating a culture that facilitates cross-functional collaboration, innovation, and technological investments. To achieve DevOps implementation successfully, it is important to embrace it as a holistic framework and work towards establishing a level of collaboration and cooperation. The culture should focus on creating a positive environment of encouragement, motivation, and support rather than assigning blame and punishing experiments. DevOps ...

The To start your CALMS journey and set your organization up for success, focus first on what's arguably the most important aspect of DevOps: the teams and people who will be part of the DevOps transition. Creating a DevOps culture DevOps breaks down silos between development and IT operations so that they can carry out tasks to meet business needs under a shared approach. DevOps is not a technology, and a DevOps transition does not occur simply through using certain tools. Instead, implementing the DevOps methodology takes time, dedication and constant reevaluation. All five facets of the CALMS framework are closely interrelated. Without a strong foundation of culture and collaboration, the other areas will suffer. Organizations should focus on strengthening the relationship between IT teams and management from the beginning with clear communication and planning to avoid missteps. Although collaboration and culture are key to the CALMS framework, it's important to devote equal attention to the other components. To help establish a strong DevOps culture, instate the following best practices from day one. 1. Open the floor for honest communication DevOps is nothing without 2. Create a common goal Having a clear plan that outlines where you want to go and how you'll get there can motivate teams and point them in the right direction. Everyone must agree on why DevOps is in place and understand its benefits to ensure success, so set a common goal that everyone works together t...

Organizations that have successfully transformed their technology delivery through DevOps consistently recognize that it requires much more than tool and process change. We repeatedly find that leading indicators for DevOps success correlate directly with cultural changes required to support innovation and agility. In this post, we look at the ways traditional IT needs to evolve, to let go of relying on process adherence as a primary measure of success, and to embrace the cultural changes considered critical to the successful adoption of DevOps practices. McKinsey & Co identified We recommend starting with a handful of applications, building a small, driven team around each, and empowering those teams to make decisions around tools and processes. These early DevOps teams should be encouraged to share practices and outcomes with each other. This should form the foundation of a framework to help other teams evolve, potentially through a central DevOps Advisory Practice or a Target-like “ Collaboration The “DevOps” moniker suggests a tighter relationship between development and operations than has typically existed in many organizations. Traditionally, at best, there are a series of handoffs and processes between development and operational teams for communicating environmental requirements, coordinating application deployments, and for ongoing application management. At worst, the development and operational teams belong to completely separate organizational structures, comm...

• • • • • • • There are plenty of concerns organizations should have as they purchase a trip-tik and chart a path across their DevOps roadmap, but hand wringing about nurturing a DevOps culture and fostering an environment of collaboration and communication between operations and development teams isn’t one of them. If anything, it’s a time waster and a DevOps anti-pattern. Why ‘DevOps encompasses culture and collaboration’ is false Figuring out how DevOps encompasses culture and collaboration is a great topic of debate for witless members of the human resources team who have nothing more productive to do, but it’s poisonous if such discussions start consuming the clock cycles of developers and engineers. Those people have real jobs to do. When anyone suggests that “DevOps encompasses culture and collaboration,” I’m always quick to point out that collaboration may indeed be part of the equation, but not in a positive way. DevOps is not about increased collaboration. DevOps is not about improving communication. When you are doing DevOps right, there should be less collaboration, not more. The whole point of less, not more. And while I do despise all the talk about It’s also worth mentioning that if your organization does have collaboration and communication issues, that’s a human resources problem, not a technical one. Let’s debunk the false DevOps culture myth I’ve debunked the DevOps culture myth before, but deprogramming converted DevOps cultists is a never ending battle...
