Devops

A set of practices that enables smooth, fast delivery by strengthening collaboration between software development and IT operations teams.

Key Points

  • Creates a culture of collaboration and shared ownership across development and operations.
  • Uses automation (build, test, deployment, infrastructure as code) to reduce errors and shorten lead time.
  • Promotes continuous integration, continuous delivery, and rapid feedback loops.
  • Emphasizes measurement and continuous improvement to optimize flow and reliability.

Example

The project manager forms a cross-functional team where developers and operations engineers plan together. They implement CI/CD, automated testing, and blue-green deployments, enabling small, safe releases several times per week instead of quarterly drops.
