Go lean, fast and agile
Living DevOps
Communicate, Collaborate and automate at scale.
The speed at which IT will influence the business of companies is increasing dramatically. Even today, a variety of IT innovations allow and promote new business models. Companies need to adapt to this new reality by accelerating their capacity to act and become “Digital Disruptors” themselves.
DevOps is more than just the implementation of a continuous delivery pipeline and the introduction of new IT tools. In fact, DevOps is a combination of a new way of collaboration paired with advanced possibilities of automation reducing manual efforts and accelerating the software delivery process.
To support a successful transition to DevOps, we look at different key areas.
The prerequisite for the introduction of DevOps is the willingness of employees and leadership to change and to adopt a new way of working. It is especially challenging to change the learned behaviors and management approaches used in classic waterfall software development projects. Our team can support your workforce on this journey with targeted coaching and Change Management.
An agile DevOps model requires a different governance approach as well as amended KPIs to control, communicate and rapidly come to decisions. In a successful DevOps transformation, these steering tools should be tailored to the company’s goals.
The combination of agile and automated delivery pipelines lead to an increasingly efficient software development process. To achieve these benefits, many traditional process steps need to be changed and automated. Targeted workshops and assessments help to identify QuickWins and HotSpots.
The right tools and technologies for the implementation and operation of a DevOps delivery chain enable a continuous delivery of business value. For this purpose, Accenture offers the „Accenture DevOps Platform“(ADOP) and various sample architectures for different technologies and platforms. Additionally, we support with experts in Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery as well as the connected tool chain.
