People are generally resistant to change, but when that change comes accompanied with the whiff of potential for job loss down the road you can count on gentle inertia to snowball in to out-and-out opposition. Unfortunately, as early misperceptions swirl around the DevOps philosophy, many in the ops world have gotten their backs up in […]
Merging creation with operations: facilitated collaboration enables continuous delivery
So much has been written lately about the challenge of improving IT agility in the enterprise. The best sources of insight on why this challenge is so difficult are the CIOs, application owners, ecommerce and release engineering executives, and VPs of I&O, grappling to change their organizations right now.

Secrets to Collaboration in DevOps
In IT and engineering departments, the notion of teamwork hasn’t been a priority until recently. People were hired based on their in-depth knowledge of a particular technology category, such as networks or operating systems. There wasn’t much need for someone in networking to talk to his server colleagues, unless the whole team was going out […]
