The document provides an introduction to DevOps for project managers. It discusses the history of DevOps and getting past it being a buzzword. It examines a typical enterprise environment and software delivery lifecycle. It explores how enterprise agility can bridge to DevOps practices and the relationship between continuous delivery, incremental workflows, and DevOps training. The presentation will look at assumptions around DevOps contexts, its non-universal nature, and focusing on specific organizational problems.

Highly automated
processes; mature
deployment pipeline
Continuous delivery of
software and IT value
Commitment to
continuous learning
& improvement
Unified mission; aligned incentives across departments and
teams; little fear/failure/blame, high quality of work life
Projects, features and work flow through fast cycles times,
systems are “anti-fragile,” IT processes & capabilities are aligned
with overarching organizational needs
Technical phases of projects supported by common tools and
automation processes, collaboration replaces handoffs,
codebase/IT infrastructure is agile and functional by default
Features, projects and IT work follow a regular, iterative flow.
Cycle time is short, workflow favors small frequent changes
Disciplined feedback loops quickly travel back upstream for
inclusion. Tools for monitoring, measurement and alerting
implemented & effective. Shared knowledge repositories.
