DevOps is a culture that organisations can imbibe and
incorporate between development and operations within a
team. It involves a high degree of collaboration across
roles focusing on the business than on departmental
objectives.
Introduction

Few misconceptions
● It’s not a particular toolkit or software product
● It is not about changing processes
● It’s based on trust, and high value placed on learning
through experimentation.

Common Mistakes Your DevOps
Team is Making
Quality
Urgent deliveries ignore the lack of experience and results
in low quality output affecting the struggle to keep up
with the competition in the market.
Staying Small
DO not stay small while moving forward.

The Old and the New
The Hybrid model(amalgamation of old and new
practices) can backfire as newer methods of working
cannot always coexist with the age-old practices and
might lead to disruptions and clashes between the teams.
Monitoring
The role of DevOps engineers shouldn’t end with the
release of the application or software. It is an absolute
must to ensure constant availability of resources, goals,
and budgets for smooth and continuous functioning of
the software.

Overcome Challenges
Learn to Say ‘No’
The first rule of eliminating roadblocks is by starting to say ‘’no’’ to anything that
doesn’t add value to your work or business and should be the most important
behaviour adopted by all.
Commitment Counts
Ensure that each member has a clear vision and is 100% ready to achieve the desired
outcomes before committing on any project or task.
Adaptability
Not always will you meet your own expectations along with those of your customers.
Organisations should welcome the changes as per requirements that can help in quick
adaptation and frequent deliveries.

Sharing is Caring
Collective commitment of the group towards delivering quick customer
satisfaction and building a better organisation brings out the desired
outcomes.
Select the Right Tools
Lastly, DevOps culture and processes are incomplete without effective tools
and applications in the projects. Invest in smart, new and advanced tools
that are crucial to the implementation along with keeping the members
interested in the process.

The above results by the Statistics portal, Statista, shows the extent to which
developers worldwide have adopted DevOps in their workplace, in 2017 and
2018.
