A methodology popular in tech companies where software development practices and ideas are applied to IT Operation as well. Further, the method encourages cross-functional teams that are able to take full responsibility of all parts of the Software Development Lifecycle. Similar to Lean in both scope and approach. Became extremely popular through books like the The Phoenix Project.
There are likely about as many definitions of DevOps as there are practitioners. In contrast to many of these ideas, I firmly believe that DevOps has very little to do with Technology, and instead almost exclusively deals with how we work together, what work we prioritize, and the culture we create while doing it. In short, it’s a set of principles, or a way of working, that aims to allow teams to deliver high-quality software while minimizing lead time.
