DevOps…Sink IT or Sync

IT

DevOps…It’s About the Software Potential In Your Business!

Internally – Can teams do more with less / Can business get more from IT?

Externally – Are there new technologies that simplify & improve efforts?

Risks – Can new technology address scale, security or evolution?

Return – Can business leverage global velocity and quality to grow!

Opportunity – Does software have the potential to improve your business?

Challenge – Has traditional IT or Software Development been too slow?

Betting on a software process was like a horserace bet without knowing the horse, race details or the person with a tip.People do get lucky, but it’s not a good strategy!

Software processes, like horses,come in all shapes and sizes.Some software teams are disadvantaged before they even start a project.

Instead of driving blind with your Software processes, you should determine if you have a modern team with advantages, or not!

With Agile and DevOps… “the differences between a developer and operations engineer

is becoming less visible and will eventually dissolve.”

DevOps-Pivoting Beyond Pockets, Kamal Manglani

“You can’t buy a culture transformation, it is hard work from within the organization”

Dr. Ahmed Sidky

Moving from…Mega - Complex - Silos…with isolated decision-making and internally competitive teams

Moving to…Micro - Simple - Cross-discipline… with shared decision-making, ownership, standards and automation

Adding PPM-like functionality can improve corporate visibility, business & cost alignment. Is that DevOps too?
