Current Change

And many organisations make four common mistakes on
the journey
Common
Mistakes
Deploying a Tool
!  A tool cannot force
collaboration
!  A tool cannot be relied upon
for a solution
!  A tool should be used to aid
the entire DevOps journey
Relying on a process
!  It is a way of thinking, a philosophy
!  It is supported by processes and tools
Creating separate DevOps group
!  Creating yet another silo
!  Complicating the structure to add further integration issues
Quick Fix
!  DevOps is not something
that happens overnight
!  Culture change is the
biggest issue and can
take months
