Agenda • • Dev. Ops Gap Why Dev. Ops? Views on Dev. Ops – Continuous Delivery – Development + Operations – Disciplined Dev. Ops Defining Disciplined Dev. Ops The Dev. Ops Mindset Dev. Ops Critical Success Factors Dev. Ops Changes the IT/Business Relationship Parting Thoughts © Disciplined Agile Consortium 2

Exercise: What is Dev. Ops? For five minutes, discuss: • What does Dev. Ops mean to you? • What new behaviours do you need to adopt? © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 3

Do You Have a Dev. Ops Gap? Production Releases Development Operations Change Requests • • Production releases are seen as risky Collaboration between development and operations is strained Development doesn’t appreciate the realities of operations Operations doesn’t understand new development strategies © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 4

Why Dev. Ops? • • • Decreased time to market (reduced cycle time) Decreased cost to deploy Improved mean time between deployments (deploy more often) Improved quality Improved market competitiveness Improved decision making © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 5

One View: Continuous Delivery • Practices: – Automated regression testing – Continuous integration (CI) – Continuous deployment (CD) – Canary tests – Split (A/B) tests • Operations-friendly features: – Feature toggles – Feature-level access control – Built-in monitoring – Self testing – Self recovery © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 6

A Better View: Agile Delivery + Operations • Multi-modal approach to software development • Operations activities are also streamlined and “leaned out” • Some teams will adopt a “you build it, you run it” philosophy, but a common operational infrastructure still required © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 7

Our View: Disciplined Dev. Ops © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 8

Disciplined Dev. Ops: A Definition Disciplined Dev. Ops is the streamlining of IT solution development and IT operations activities, and supporting enterprise-IT activities, to provide more effective outcomes to an organization. © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 9

The Dev. Ops Mindset 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Streamline the end-to-end flow Reduce the feedback cycle Flexible people Multidisciplinary “generalizing specialists” Standardized infrastructure Automation and tools Standardized development guidelines You build it, you run it © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 10

Dev. Ops Changes Your Relationship with the Business • • Your business and IT processes must be integrated – Plans must be high-level with the details coming just in time (JIT) – Emphasize delivery of value via a consumable solution rather than transitory work products of questionable value – Schedules and estimates must be given in ranges – Traditional business approaches will eliminate most benefits of agile/Dev. Ops The new relationship with the business: – They must be actively involved with development all the way through the lifecycle – The greater visibility and control that they now have implies the need for greater accountability on their part – They often don’t understand the implications of what they ask for, you need to educate them – You need to demonstrate that disciplined agile delivery is not cowboy programming. It is very likely far more disciplined than their current processes © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 11

Dev. Ops Critical Success Factors 1. Build a collaborative and respectful culture across your entire IT organization 2. Focus on people, but don’t forget process and tooling 3. Choice is good © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 12

Parting Thoughts • You don’t just do Dev. Ops – You must also have the Dev. Ops mindset • Dev. Ops improves IT’s ability to support the rest of the organization – The rest of the business needs to evolve too • You have to build Dev. Ops for yourself – You cannot buy it • Dev. Ops permeates IT – You don’t have a “Dev. Ops Group”, nor “Dev. Ops Engineers” © 2016 Disciplined Agile Consortium 13
