Why Agile?
$1 Billion Dollar Writedown
NO Customer Feedback
“there's no reason to buy the Surface. Between the confusing Windows 8.1 interface and its lack of apps, you're much better off with the iPad, Nexus 7, or just about any other Android tablet.”

Agile Adoption & Maturity
“nine women can't make a baby in one month”.Fred Brooks, “The Mythical Man-Month”

And to Prove it - Quotes from ‘The Field’
“We have our Daily Standup every Friday.”
“We demonstrate our work every two weeks, just without the primary customer.”
“No, really, the project was 90% complete last week. Now we’re about 60% complete.”
“Our first Sprint was Analysis, our second Sprint was Design... We hope to Code in our third.”

DevOps - DefinedHandshake between Development and Deployment Operations
Developers are agents of change; Operations generally averse to change (system down time, etc…)
Deployment processes may introduce new defects and incompatibilities
![Page 27: Agile: Developing Software at the Pace of Information](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a77a361a28ab594e8b45bb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DevOps – Impediments to AgilityOperations often involved late in the product development cycle
Time and effort to configure and enable Production-like systems
Conflicting Metrics & Measures
….disrupts flow!

Opportunities for DevOps
If releasing is expensive & risky, we release seldom.
If releasing is cheap & safe, we release often.
LARGE BATCH
SMALL BATCH

Opportunities for DevOps
Utilize Near Production Systems -
Frequently
Validate System
Quality -Continuously
Deploy Frequently
with Repeatable and Reliable
Processes
Rapid Service Virtualization
(Cloud)
Collaboration between
Developers and
Operations Teams
