We are in 2019, the demand for the rapidly improving digital experiences is been higher, matching the market’s trend and demand has been the goal for the companies all over hence the companies are moving towards DevOps.

The reason is DevOps culture is easy to streamline the development, deployment, management, and maintenance of the software process. In this blog, we are going to discuss the 7 successful key principles for DevOps.

What is DevOps?

We discussed a lot about DevOps in our blog here is a small intro about it, DevOps is the principle which lay the fundamental groundwork of DevOps culture.

The primary objectives of the DevOps methodology are to speed up the time to market, apply incremental improvements in response to the changing environment, and create a more streamlined development process.

7 successful key principles for DevOps:

Foster a Collaborative Environment:

The main theory behind DevOps is to combine development and operations to create a unilateral team that focuses on delivering common objectives. For brands to achieve this, they need to encourage development and operations to regularly communicate, share ideas and problem-solve together.

Impose End to End Responsibility:

In the traditional software development model, developers and operations had separate roles. But in DevOps, both groups work as a team that is fully accountable for the application from beginning to end. “One of the core principles of DevOps is the control and responsibility of services from "concept to grave."

Traditionally, developers wrote code and operations deployed that code, but that leads to all sorts of inefficiencies from differences in production to performance problems [and] unpredictable environments,” said Dave Blakey, co-founder and head of technology at Snapt Inc.

Encourage Continuous Improvement:

End-to-end responsibility also means that brands must continuously adapt to changing circumstances, whether that may be the emergence of new technology, customer needs, or changes in legislation.

DevOps places a strong focus on continuous improvement to optimize performance, cost and speed of delivery.

Automate Everything:

To strive for continuous improvement with high cycle rates and the ability to immediately respond to customer feedback, brands must utilize automated processes. Fortunately, there have been notable developments in automated tools to streamline processes including the CI/CD pipeline.

Focus on Customer’s Needs:

DevOps requires brands to act like a lean startup that can innovate continuously, pivot when a strategy is no longer working, and invest in features to deliver customer satisfaction.

DevOps teams must have one finger on the pulse to consistently meet the needs of ever-changing consumer demands. The data gathered from the automated processes must be constantly reviewed to ensure performance targets are met.

Unite Teams:

DevOps teams are required to be involved at every stage of the software development lifecycle, from planning, building, deployment, feedback and improvement. This requires a cross-functional team where each member is well-rounded and has a balanced set of skills.
