• Improving
the
collaboration
between
the
traditionally
siloed development
and
operations
functions
• An
extension
of
agile
software
development.
Agile
as
very
development
focussed,
but
often
moved
the
bottleneck
downstream
• Want
to
continue
agile
principles
such
as
automated
testing
in
the
sprint
to
bring
operational
concerns
forward
and
automate
our
infrastructure

teams
– the
root
of
much
evil
In

IT
DevOps can
mean
breaking
up
shared
service
teams
to
reduce
depdencies
Shared

teams
remain,

43. Measuring,

And
Assessing
DevOps Maturity
sendachi.com
The
key
to
DevOps in
a
traditional
banking
environment
is
a
rigorous
approach
We
need
to
articulate
the
benefits
to
the
business
case
clearly
and
in
hard
numbers
We
need
to
benchmark,
measure
and
improve
with
hard
numbers
behind
it
