How did we in Enterprise IT get to this point? There’s a lot of talking and writing about the value of adopting DevOps but very little analyzing the problem domain we’re trying to correct. There are some schools that will say we can move forward without looking back, but I believe a key element of […]
Waterfall to Agile to DevOps: The State of Stagnant Evolution
DevOps is all the rage. The hot IT buzzword intended to heal the expanding divide between development and IT operations is being used to sell a range of services and solutions to struggling development shops and enterprises, even though DevOps can’t be sold – it’s a cultural shift that nurtures under a strong leadership. Prior […]
The DevOps Scorecard
Mid-last year our team switched from doing Agile to doing DevOps. As we forayed into the journey trying to learn about DevOps and practice it at the same time, a lot of questions arose in the team. How was this different from agile and most importantly How were we going to be successful? That’s when we […]
SDN has a lot to offer to DevOps
When discussing DevOps it’s natural to focus the attention on the one operations team that focuses on application infrastructure. But when you start digging in to DevOps and its applicability to all four operations groups you’ll find that technological shifts in the network – like software-defined networks (SDN) – are just as important to the overall […]

New survey results released last week shows just how thoroughly DevOps has captured the mindshare of enterprises.

This time I address a vexing issue facing many large enterprises – how to make sure downstream processes move as fast as development and operations: Q.

Mobility Means Enterprises Need to Get Lean with DevOps
When people say “mobile” most folks think “devices.” Phones. Tablets. Phablets. Smart things. Wearables. But what we really ought to be talking about in most cases is apps. A McKinsey & Company survey noted, “When we recently surveyed 250 CIOs on their mobility strategies, 56 percent reported strong demand from employees to support a wide […]
The DevOps Culture Cocktail
As I have written in previous posts, I believe that IT has accumulated decades of cultural debt that is now due.
