DevOps: Why The 15 Essential Practices Are Key To Your Organization’s Survival
The survival of many organizations depends on how quickly their IT department can help them adapt to a continual and rapidly-changing environment and deliver business value better, faster and cheaper.
The DevOps movement is designed to remove the blockages that hinder IT from delivering the value that the business requires, at the speed the business desires. Accordingly, organizations are heeding the call and IT is feeling the pressure to quickly adopt and successfully implement DevOps, but many are experiencing challenges in effectively applying the concept.
In response to this, Pink Elephant has developed a unique methodology consisting of 15 essential practices that allows organizations to implement DevOps through the ‘Full Stack’ of culture, practices and automation. This approach defines and provides guidance to help change the relationship between Application Development and Systems Operations, break down the “Wall of Confusion” and ensure effective collaboration.
Organizations that apply these 15 essential practices can transform their processes. Each of the 15 must-have practices has evolved from the best practices of Lean, Agile and IT Service Management (ITSM), specifically to address the issue of delivering greater business value. These practices are the bedrock of Pink’s DevOps Essentials™ certification course and carry into the DevOps Leadership™ certification course. Both courses also include a DevOps assessment tool to assist you in determining the level of maturity for 25 DevOps related areas within your organizations. This provides a holistic view of your organization’s DevOps maturity level and allows you to start prioritizing and planning areas of improvement to drive business value.
An effective and successful implementation of DevOps with a strong culture of collaboration will better position your organization to not just survive, but to thrive.
