DevOps

More than development and operations. It's continuous value delivery.

Culture of shared responsibility

DevOps is

This mainly leads to the fact that different "businesses or teams" need to work together (dev, test, business, ops, UX, ... )

Goal

Business with fast the ability to adapt fast to the customers needs are more successful
Built the right thing
Get feedback fast
It's about the product and not about the project. It's about the outcome not the output
- We don't want to maximize the number of features (stuff) delivered but we want to solve the problems of our customers

This can be achieved by

Shift left => get feedback earlier in the process. Once it reaches the development phase it should be clear and fast to release
Reduce lead time
- Reduce the time from "business ideas and features" to release of such features.
- This means also to reduce the lead time of single tasks (reduce the waiting time). Examples here is the manual testing before the deployment (roughly 1 week)
Built in quality
- This gives us confidence to deploy and release often and with high probability of success
- Lots of stories go back to the development phase. This needs to be reduced.
- Increase automated tests (incl. security, L&P, E2E, tests for other non-functional requirements)
Involve the business more and earlier
Set hypothesis, measure it and learn from it
