“Traditionally siloed technical teams interact through complex ticketing systems and ritualistic request procedures, which may require director-level intervention. A team taking a more DevOps approach talks about the product throughout its lifecycle, discussing requirements, features, schedules, resources, and whatever else might come up. The focus is on the product, not building fiefdoms and amassing political power.”
Mandi Walls, Building a DevOps Culture

“Articulating upfront what your goals are will help you with other phases of your DevOps roll out. Some common measurable goals are: Reduce time-to-market for new features. Increase overall availability of the product. Reduce the time it takes to deploy a software release. Increase the percentage of defects detected in testing before production release. Make more efficient use of hardware infrastructure. Provide performance and user feedback to the product manager in a more timely manner.”
Mandi Walls, Building a DevOps Culture

“Trust is a massive component of achieving a DevOps culture. Operations must trust that Development is doing what they are because it’s the best plan for the success of the product. Development must trust that QA isn’t really just there to sabotage their successes. The Product Manager trusts that Operations is going to give objective feedback and metrics after the next deployment. If any one part of the team doesn’t trust another part of the team, your tools won’t matter. Additionally, if you don’t trust the people who work for you, why are they working there? Why are you?”
