drive the need for agility

Clients are trying to rapidly innovate and become agile with systems of engagement
At the same time need to evolve their systems of records and manage regulatory compliance,
reduce costs by outsourcing and provide world class customer experience

Test and Ops teams have increased

pressures to keep up with increased

Why is the Wall between Dev and Ops

1. Tooling 2. Process

3. Reporting Structures 4. Incentives

- Devs want change

Lean-thinking provide a good set of guiding principles to
improve software delivery

1 1. Speeding continuous
innovation of ideas by
enabling collaborative
development and testing
across the value chain
2. Providing a feedback loop for
3 continuous learning from
Line-of- customers by monitoring and
Customer optimizing the software
business
driven innovation
3. Enabling continuous delivery
of these innovations by
automating software delivery
processes and eliminating
waste while still helping to

meet regulatory concerns

Enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables clients
to seize market opportunities and reduce time to customer feedback

Continuous Innovation, Feedback and Improvements

Accelerate Software Delivery

Expanding collaboration to include customers, LOB and others to eliminate organization silos

Balance speed, cost, quality and risk

Automating manual processes across delivery lifecycle to eliminate waste/delays and compliance tracking

Reduce time to customer feedback

Enabling a customer feedback loop for continuous improvement

 DevOps Principles and Values

 Develop and test against a production-like

environments

 Iterative and frequent deployments using repeatable People

and reliable processes
Process

 Continuously monitor and validate operational Tools

quality characteristics

 Amplify feedback loops

17
 Continuous delivery pipeline defined
Ensure applications are production-ready throughout the lifecycle
and can be released at any time without rollback due to quality issues

Continuous Delivery Pipeline:

An iterative set of quality checks and verifications that each piece of application
code must pass during lifecycle phases before being released to production.

21
 uRelease – Release planning and orchestration

uRelease delivers
• Plan the release day

• Execute the release

• Communicate what’s going on
• Allocate environments to releases

• Tie release back to development

terrible and b) normal
