The document discusses how to implement DevOps practices when an organization only has operational capabilities. It recommends focusing on operational data mining to enable continuous learning and experimentation. Specific approaches include training operations staff on infrastructure as code using tools like Git, Ansible, and Jenkins. Emphasis is placed on empowering frontline staff by giving them insights from operational data to identify constraints and make improvements. The overall goal is to help organizations gain the agility benefits of DevOps through incremental cultural and process changes rather than waiting for full development capabilities.
