Dissolve Silos to Streamline Value Delivery

Agile practices improve cycle times from concept to development/test, but many organizations still suffer from slow deployments and infrequent releases, lowering customer satisfaction and delaying feedback and response. Old IT placed Development, QA, Support, Infrastructure management, Security and Production Operations into separate silos that can’t collaborate effectively and frustrate alignment on accountability for customer outcomes. To deliver value effectively, Development and Production Operations must perform like one aligned Agile team.

Bringing Lean thinking and automation together with advanced technologies, practices and tools, DevOps transformation accelerates business results. It creates alignment and collaboration between Development and Operations to optimize quality and value delivery.

We begin with the premise that DevOps is primarily about establishing a deeply collaborative culture among all parts of IT. This comes from building trusted relationships between groups, redesigning processes, and changing people’s roles, accountabilities and rewards to align them to customer value. Improvement is evidenced by smooth hand-offs, common understanding of business objectives, and collaborative optimization of the technology delivery value stream. As practices mature, roles and teams become more cross-functional and evidence passion for customer satisfaction.
