DevOps

Definition

DevOps is a software engineering culture and operating model that brings development and operations together to deliver software faster, safer, and more reliably.

Why it Matters

DevOps helps organizations:

• Accelerate delivery with automation and shared ownership.
• Improve reliability through continuous testing, monitoring, and feedback.
• Reduce handoff friction between coding, release, and operations teams.

High-performing DevOps organizations often outperform peers on DORA and flow metrics.

How to Use It

To mature DevOps practices:

• Adopt CI/CD pipelines and release automation.
• Create shared KPIs across engineering, QA, and operations.
• Measure outcomes using DORA Metrics, Cycle Time, and incident recovery metrics.
