“No matter what industry you are in, or what product or service your organization provides, this way of thinking is paramount and necessary for survival for every business and technology leader."

—John Allspaw, Foreword to The DevOps Handbook
settings
More than ever, the effective management of technology is critical for business competitiveness. For decades, technology leaders have struggled to balance agility, reliability, and security. The consequences of failure have never been greater―whether it’s the healthcare.gov debacle, cardholder data breaches, or missing the boat with Big Data in the cloud.
And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Etsy, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day.
Following in the footsteps of The Phoenix Project, The DevOps Handbook shows leaders how to replicate these incredible outcomes, by showing how to integrate Product Management, Development, QA, IT Operations, and Information Security to elevate your company and win in the marketplace.

Selecting Which Value Stream to Start With
settings
by Gene Kim
settings
Choosing the best value stream for your DevOps transformation deserves careful consideration. Not only does the value stream we choose dictate the difficulty of your transformation, but it also dictates who will be involved in the transformation, how we organize the teams, and how we can best enable those teams and the individuals in them.

How to Integrate Operations into the Daily Work of Development
settings
by Gene Kim
settings
When done correctly, Ops can significantly improve the productivity of Dev teams throughout the entire organization, as well as enable better collaboration and organizational outcomes. One way to enable market-oriented outcomes is for Operations to create a set of centralized platforms and tooling services that any Dev team can use to become more productive – such as getting production-like environments, deployment pipelines, automated testing tools, and so forth.

"Our call to action is this: no matter what role you play in your organization, start finding people around you who want to change how work is performed. Show this book to others and create a coalition of like-minded thinkers to break out of the downward spiral."
