This document provides an introduction to DevOps. It defines DevOps as a cultural and professional movement where development and operations teams work together towards common goals by leveraging ideas from other industries to enable continuous delivery. The document discusses that DevOps is about establishing a collaborative culture, automating processes, measuring outcomes, and sharing knowledge. It emphasizes that DevOps is not a job title or team, but a way of working. The closing section provides a call to action to bring development and operations teams together by taking a whole-systems view and establishing trust between teammates.

10. The Back Office Becomes The Front Office
“In ten years, I’m certain
every COO worth their
salt will have come from
IT. Any COO who
doesn’t intimately
understand the IT
systems that actually run
the business is just an
empty suit, relying on
someone else to do their
job.”
