Amplify Agile With DevOps

Overview

Agile and DevOps may seem like different movements, but if you look at their goals, you find that they are strikingly similar. Look at the value Agile and DevOps deliver. That is, look at the “why” of DevOps, and look at the “why” of Agile. When you look closer you discover that the goals of both are to get value to the customer quicker and to change to market demands more quickly. DevOps takes the principles introduced in Agile and extends them beyond code check-in to deployment and operations.

As the goals of Agile and DevOps align, it is not surprising to find significant overlap in the practices that surround them. In many ways, the intersection of DevOps and Agile relates to a culture of collaboration and modern technical practices and processes which emerge from that culture. We see this in processes such as Continuous Testing and Small Batch Sizes which help ensure the rapid delivery of working products to the customer. We see this in the efforts to make work visible, exposing workflow and system telemetry to accelerate the flow of value to the customer. And we see the overlap of Agile and DevOps in the focus on collaboration and the need to build small and cohesive teams with shared responsibility and a broader understanding of all the parts which are involved in product delivery.
