Automation Control

DevOps foundations is the removal of artificial

barriers between operations and development teams. These barriers are often created as a result of inflexible processes and to create silos of ownership. That does not mean there is no need for a process or a need for people to own the various tasks in development and operations. DevOps is about finding a new working relationship that benefits the entire software process.

Match all to business needs and goals and Operational shortcomings

Do what fits, if it doesn’t add value…STOP DOING IT

Ten points for gearing towards Continuous Delivery A commitment to Business

Agility must be comprehensive

Assessment, especially “Risk” , must be part of decision process

Process underpins a strategy for Continuous Delivery

ITIL and/or ITSM support eases the transition

Raise the bar for Change and Asset Management

Get a firm handle on complexity within IT

Identify any build and integration bottleneck

Rethink the Release Process
