Doing DevOps well is really hard. And one of the reasons why doing DevOps well is so hard is because, as the survey sponsored by Google Cloud rightly points out: “Adopting DevOps is not a technology project. It requires changes to staffing, organization structure, performance management, and even culture”. It is easy to do a tool’s implementation and declare victory, but that won’t get organizations the benefit of DevOps -- developing and putting new software/applications into production, quickly. In this webinar with Irfan Shariff, DASA Ambassador, you’ll learn about： - Why DevOps - How DevOps enables the delivery of business results - Google ( Harvard Business Review) survey findings - Why doing DevOps is hard - Learning from doing Agile Software Development - Doing DevOps right with DASA’s guidance Organizational - Individual and team level

Why DevOps
“[ING] was no longer a financial services
company, it was a technology company in the
financial services business.”
– Peter Jacobs, CIO, IN
Source : McKinsey, ING’s agile transformation

• All companies are technology companies
• Software is the medium through which business gets done
• Software development, delivery and operations as a core competency
○ DevOps : Covers the entire S/W development, delivery and operations lifecycle

8. #DASAchat
Why DevOps
Software is continuous
Do you remember the last time you received
software on a CD
……but we still operate under the assumption
we are shipping software
Agile software development solved the problem
with waterfall software development
….it didn’t solve the last mile problem of
software delivery and operations
DevOps : Extending agile ways of working to
software delivery and operations……. DevOps
covers the entire S/W development, delivery
and operations lifecycle 8

a department
DevOps is extending agile to the rest of the organization
• Agile values, ideas, approaches, practices From software development to the
rest of the service delivery organization
– Dev + Ops + Security + ……
