DevOps: Here's What You Need to Know About Changing IT Mindset

DevOps?is a combination of software developers (dev) and operations (ops).

DevOps is generally thought of as a software engineering methodology which aims to integrate the work of software development and software operations teams by facilitating a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility.

The business benefits from DevOps are considerable. The business value lies in the ability to improve the production environment in order to deliver software faster with continuous improvement.

You need the ability to anticipate and respond to industry disruptors without delay. This becomes possible within an Agile software development process where teams are empowered to be autonomous and deliver faster, reducing work in progress.

Once this occurs, teams are able to respond to demands at the speed of the market.

Of course, there are some fundamental concepts that need to be put into action in order for DevOps to function as designed, including the need to:

• Remove institutionalized silos and handoffs that lead to roadblocks and constraints, particularly in instances where the measurements of success for one team is in direct odds with another team’s key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Implement a unified tool chain using a single application that allows multiple teams to share and collaborate. This will enable teams to accelerate delivery and provide fast feedback to one another.

The end objective of initiating a DevOps culture is to change the mindset for IT in general. In building on top of?Agile?and lean practices, DevOps focuses on incremental development and rapid delivery of software.

Success relies on the ability to create a culture of accountability, improved collaboration, empathy, and joint responsibility for business outcomes.

Adopting a DevOps strategy enables businesses to increase operational efficiencies, deliver better products faster, and reduce security and compliance risk.
