DevOps in your Life!

Is it time your organisation started to
implement a DevOps way of working?
From speaking to customers,
industry colleagues and our own
DevOps team we have come up with
5 signs that indicate it’s time to start
implementing DevOps.

3. 1. Unacceptable time to fix defects
Last minute software defect or code
error? Whilst this can be a problem,
the real issue we see is the mean time
to fix the issue and it’s often caused by:
• Rigorous manual processes with full
test regression happening at each
stage.
• A manager who puts pressure on the
team to “just get it done”. Often
resulting in the team pulling heroic
hours to resolve further issues
created by rushing out a fix.

4. 2. You’re using agile methodologies but not moving as fast as you
expected
You may be using Agile methodologies
but if you’re not integrating Operations
into the process, time can be wasted
when issues arise in operation and have
to be raised with development.
Also, if you’re not working on
Continuous Delivery then the whole
process will be slower and you’re more
likely to encounter errors.

5. 3. There’s too much waiting around
In organisations not utilising DevOps,
Development and Testing teams can
experience frustration when they’re
unable to get on with the project.
This “waiting around” can be caused
by access to production environments,
waiting on code from other teams or
waiting on business requirements to
be signed off.

6. 4. Stress and Burnout of Staff
The seemingly relentless release
cycle in some organisations can put
real stress onto staff.
Stressed-out staff can only ever
have a detrimental effect on output
with sick days on the rise and
mistakes becoming more frequent.

7. 5. The Blame Game Takes Over
If people aren’t in an environment
where they can work collaboratively,
when issues arise, the default position
can often end up in finger-pointing
and apportioning blame.
According to the 2018 Global
Developer Report 94% of respondents
said it’s important for them to work in
a collaborative environment.

8. Build For Speed

then perhaps it’s time you considered
