Reasons to adopt AGILE & DevOps

Leave a comment

DevOps:

  • Developers need environments to be readied, recycled, shared, rebuilt in short period of time with least amount of lost time, control and additional jumps
  • Fused teams of developers, system admins where responsibilities are more or less completed via multi-tasking & multi-skilling by each member

AGILE:

  • Early feedback for product owners, developers & testers
  • Continuous feedback / demo driven development
  • Required documentation (Not less not more) via specialized tools
  • 1 to 4 week sprints giving out tangible outputs that can be demoed
  • Course corrections possible in the middle of the project / product life cycle

Tools / products / technologies for AGILE & DevOps:

  • JIRA and similar
  • Jenkins and similar
  • Containers, Kubernetes and similar
  • Git and similar
  • Cloud ecosystems
  • Ansible, Terraform and similar automation
  • Video conferencing tools
  • Monitoring & log products
  • Testing tools
  • Ticketing & Chaos engineering tools
  • Reporting tools
  • And more
