This document contains a summary of a presentation on adopting DevOps practices for faster and more efficient software delivery. It discusses how software delivery is critical but challenging for most organizations. DevOps takes a holistic approach to optimize the entire delivery process through practices like continuous integration, deployment, testing, and monitoring. The document outlines different adoption paths organizations can take, such as starting with continuous planning and measurement or collaborative development. It emphasizes starting small on high-value projects and measuring outcomes to steer further improvements. Adopting DevOps requires both technical and cultural changes but can significantly improve time to market, quality, and competitiveness.

In Less Mature IT Organizations, Lack of Discipline and
Informal Management Can Lead to Serious Ineffectiveness
 Highly informal process
 Relationship based
 No formal entry gate
 No business case to judge project impact to

People Budgets
Business
Requests
Business Impact
 Lack of oversight regarding Business User
Requests and Resource Allocation
 Non-systematic resource allocation (human
and financial) – misaligned with business
objectives
 Overload of the organization due to the
absence of a filtering and prioritization
mechanism
 Project delays due to under-resourcing (often
projects were not meeting the agreed delivery
date)
 Misalignment with architectural principles
due to absence of centralized architecture

Experience Has Taught Some Key Principles
about IT Transformation
1. Transformation is a journey, not a destination
2. Evolution is much better than revolution
3. Execution architecture is much more important than end-state
architecture
4. Architecture is a governance task, much more than a technical one
5. Capability is key to success

Adoption Path: Plan and Measure
Practice: Continuous Business Planning
Do the right things right
 Attack the high value and high risk
items first
 Predict and quantify the outcomes
and resources
 Measure honestly with distributions
of outcomes
 Learn what customers really want
and steer with agility

#IBMINTERCONNECT
Adoption Path: Development and Test
Practice: Collaborative Development
Unify on an integrated, open platform
 Promote common terminology, tools,
processes, data sources among all
lifecycle disciplines
 Integrate early and continuously
 Demonstrate integrated behaviors
before investing in unit coverage and
completeness
“Our costs are flat, even though our
demand has increased by about 30
to 35 percent. We’re doing more
with the same amount of resources”

Practice: Continuous Release and Deployment
Accelerate delivery of usable
increments
for continuous outside-in feedback
 Provide a continuous delivery pipeline
that automates deployments to test
and production environments
 Reduce overhead with push-button
deployments
 Quantify change stability and measure
transparently for compliance
“Before it took 2 days to deploy
a build, with uDeploy and our new
processes, it takes us
less than 60 seconds.”
