The document discusses the challenges and opportunities within software delivery processes, particularly emphasizing the concept of 'disconnected pipelines' in DevOps environments. It outlines major impacts from cloud transformations, such as increased pipeline runs and the shift of power to development engineers, while identifying four key disconnections that hinder efficiency. The emphasis on integrating CI/CD with IT service management and optimizing business delivery processes is highlighted as essential for improving speed and value creation.

Adoption Timeline
“I lack a clear view of what’s going on in my releases.”
“I need to know when there’s risk to the schedule.”
“We must meet Audit and Compliance requirements.”
“I need CD to fully realize the benefits of agile.”
“My failure rate is too high.”
“I need to enhance legacy apps & modernize my delivery process.”
“I have heterogeneous applications & mainframe apps.”
“We need standardization to ensure consistency & repeatability.”
“Automate all the things!”
“All steps & manual interactions need tracking.”
“Microservices & apps with complex dependencies need to be
delivered consistently.”
“Public/private cloud, hybrid and on-premise all need to be
standardized. We've hit a wall trying to manage everything with
scripts.”
“My developers need self-service.”
“We need to find & eliminate bottlenecks in our process.”

3 Major impacts of a cloud transformation

7. 7
The radical increase of
the number of “pipeline runs”

8. 8
The movement of: “Power to the development
engineers”

The impact of corporate thinking:
Multi Cloud, Distributed Risk

4 Disconnects that disturb your business

11. 11
Disconnect 1: CI/CD is going lightning fast, but at the
same time, happening in the dark for many

12. 12
Disconnect 2: So many powerful tools, so little time
for integrations

13. 13
Disconnect 3: Lack of Focus on Security and Operations
Dev : Sec : Ops
100 : 1 : 10

14. 14
Disconnect 4: Business Process of delivering value is
not connected to the IT process

15. 15
The focus on Connected Pipelines will increase the
speed of business value creation
Focus on the 4 connects:
▪ Getting CI / CD out of the dark
▪ Connecting best of breed tools into the
toolchain
▪ Connecting Operations and Security into
the overall development chain
▪ Connecting the Business Delivery Process
to the IT Delivery Process
