Editor's Notes
- Its what the real business value it brings. Often we forget the bigger picture and bog down on the technical layer (easy) Its not about keeping up with the times, its not about adopting the latest tools. We are ultimately here to bring value to the business which ends up looking at the share price/value and beating the competition
- Great quote Often we forget why we do what we do. Too much emphasis is on the Tools, and less of the result. CIO survey “couldn’t go to board an ask for £500k for DevOps” “Focus on high deployment numbers out of context. why do I want 50 deploys per day? Finance team don’t want that, they work on monthly cycles so improving to monthly deployments would be awesome.” In this analogy is DevOps the drill (although it’s not a tool in the traditional sense) and business success/value the hole? Ever been asked to deliver “DevOps”, or agility to Mainframe work. The Modern day tools, born out of the Mode 2 work is inundated with tools to help achieve DevOps vision, making Chasm leaps fairly easy.
- Our analysis has shown that companies with high-performing IT teams are twice as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals. Moreover, there appears to be a link between IT and market capitalization of public companies, with high IT performance correlating to 50 percent greater growth over three years.
- You can have the shiniest car, but whats the point if you don’t know how to drive it and no idea how some of the parts fit together? Everyone working together knowing what they are looking to achieve. This is no different in a large enterprise.
- Bringing Dino into the DevOps cycle. Customers have tried this and ultimately they found the biggest failings is not involving all the stakeholders
- more training (66%), redesigning processes (66%) and hiring new resources with the necessary skills (66%). 42% of respondents indicate release automation to be the most critical tool to enabling DevOps, followed by Functional Testing (40%) and Application Development Lifecycle (38%). These are some of the highest figures in the APJ region. 40% of respondents have seen an improvement in new software and services that would otherwise not be possible or explored, as well as a reduction in time spent fixing and maintaining applications (34%). To measure the success of their DevOps implementation, 43% of Singapore enterprises look primarily at external business factors such as increased revenue, faster time-to-market, and improved competitive positioning; and On the other hand, 40% measures success by looking primarily at internal factors such as lower costs, fewer application defects, improved application performance, and better collaboration across departments.
- Example of Business Talk vs. Technical talk What does increased deployment frequencies mean? Tech – Smaller changes easier to manage, less chance of failures Faster release cycles shorten lead times which means you can spend more time to innovate Business – Shorter release cycles means features go out faster which often means you get benefits and paid faster! Shorter time to market enables you to get ahead of the competition

- Tangible benefits Infra Deployment Lead time Intangible benefits Innovation Culture Increased productivity
- If you are outlining a DevOps initiative you must look at the entire end to end (big picture) Look at specific areas of improvement, where and what will provide the maximum value return with the least amount of effort? Understand the the total cost model for such initiatives, you have to be able to measure your spend before you can begin to identify your ROI
