conditions at any time.
 Development and Operations work together closely
are more agile – with each other but also with
customers and departments
 Anticipating and shaping necessary changes in
the business
 Collaboration, lean processes and automation tools
enable short development and release intervals as
well as communication routes
 Bring changes quickly and safely into production  Integration and automation across all phases of
change and release management
= DevOps achieves faster market reactions and thus more sales potential
