Next Generation DevOps: Supporting a Continuous Delivery Value Chain

The term “DevOps” typically refers to the emerging professional movement that advocates a collaborative working relationship between Development and IT Operations, resulting in the fast flow of planned work achieving the value stream that is between the business (where requirements are defined) and the customer (where value is delivered). It is a new way of looking at development altogether. The initial change will have to be done through a long communication process, where the benefits of a more agile methodology are expressed and pitfalls of the current methodology are pointed out as they occur.

Once an organization is ready for this change in culture, IT managers have to focus on the largest physical aspect of the combination of development and operations: the tools. The right tools make all the difference because even though DevOps centres around people, technology, processes and information will be dominated by what the tool sets allow – tools based on their ability to seamlessly integrate with a development and operations tool chain and having the ability to adhere to lean and agile principles, such as simplification, standardization and automation. Next-generation tools have now come into the market which have high interoperability, so multiple solutions can seamlessly work together and IT departments can change tools without throwing the whole development process into upheaval. These are web and mobile applications with a powerful cloud-based service that was purpose-built for speed and scale. Code review, static analysis and security testing are therefore are of high importance,

This conference brings together leading practitioner-organisations who have achieved Continuous Delivery and organisational transformation. Companies going through Mergers and Acquisitions will inherit these systems too and be faced with similar situations and need to find out the many initiatives that increase the efficiency and agility within the enterprise and balance system uptime and stability while bringing alignment between Dev and Ops.
