While optimizing your #devopstoolchain you need to consider the bigger picture. There many parts of the #toolchain to be taken into account. #DevOps focuses squarely on the rapid development and delivery of software and digital services to drive value. Rolling out DevOPs alone is already a major task. It requires investing heavily in projects to transform IT processes, upskill teams, integrate a new ecosystem of tools, and build out a technical framework that forms the softwa

A connected #devopstoolchain can help you scale. Take a critical look not only on your #DevOps practices, but also the history and how they were developed. This can help you identify your problem and develop a more connected #toolchain. Also remember that a single tool set does not work, you need to have several tools from different providers lloking at different aspects. The solution is to create a connective, inclusive system to support the existing tools. This is best done

Wikipedia aptly describes the #DevOpstoolchain such: "The DevOps Toolchain is a set or combination of tools that aid in the delivery, development, and management of software applications throughout the systems development life cycle, as coordinated by an organisation that uses DevOps practices." The key principles of #devops are continuous integration and continuous delivery. It is an iterative approach, where anything that is developed is implemented and keeps on being conti

#businessagility is all about enabling people. For that you need to trust them and internalize that their ideas may be better than yours. Yes, this is important! In an agile environment decisions are made by the different teams and not top down. Once you adopt an attitude that you need everyone's brain to find solutions, you are all set for true business agility. Now you can start creating a flexible organization. Look both at the people perspective and the business perspecti

When we hear the word #scrum many of us first think of rugby and not #projectmanagement. And just like during a scrum in a rugby game which is used to restart the game and has the team huddle together closely with their heads even interlocking, to find the advantage and gain the ball, the #scrummaster in an #agileproject will rally his team around him from the beginning of the sprint to self organize and make changes quickly. The scrum master is a servant leader, and does not

Many are asking what the difference between Agile & Scrum is. The following article brings the two into direct comparison. Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the business value in the shortest time. https://www.guru99.com/agile-vs-scrum.html

I have heard from many that projects can be managed by anyone. Others say that a degree is always better than a certification. I beg to differ. First of all, yes anyone can manage a project, but how successful? The shockingly high number of failed projects shows that thinking you can manage a project does not automatically mean you will be successful. Well lets start by defining what a failed project is: If you fail to deliver a project in any of the 6 constraints, then you h
