DevOps: culture, maturity, biggest challenge, stages and critical dimensions.

The benefits from DevOps technologies, practices and principles are now indisputable, but a set of Enterprise IT Organizations, still lack, critical insights when it comes to adopting DevOps across development, operations projects, business value and more.

At Connectikpeople.co, we are aware of this trend.

As you can imagine, the biggest challenge, is getting started and selecting which project to start with.

Connectikpeople.co, reminds that, many starting points include automated testing, continuous delivery or integration, application performance management, application performance and analytics, or automated change and configuration management projects.

More efforts into creating an IT culture of collaboration, teamwork, sharing, empathy, communication, trust, quality, and the need for measurement/metrics to inter alia, achieve long-term improvement, are critical. 

DevOps consists of five stages: ad hoc, opportunistic, repeatable, managed, and optimized. This means inter alia that, organizations need to understand the following five critical dimensions: People, Culture, Technology, Business and Process.
