The document outlines Scott Ambler's presentation on DevOps in the enterprise. The presentation introduces DevOps and various views on DevOps, including continuous delivery, Agile delivery and operations, and Disciplined DevOps. It discusses the benefits of DevOps and the DevOps mindset. The presentation then explores how to choose an area of focus or "Way of Working" for DevOps efforts through continuous improvement, guided continuous improvement, and combining strategies. It provides examples of choices in lifecycles, process goals, and process blades.

7. A Better View: Agile Delivery + Operations
© Disciplined Agile Consortium
• Multi-modal approach to
software development
• Operations activities are
also streamlined and
“leaned out”
• Some teams will adopt a
“you build it, you run it”
philosophy, but a common
operational infrastructure
still required
