AZURE DevOps
Delivering value to users, automatically
Azure DevOps is all about continuous automations and integrations development: It’s about connecting people, processes and products, to facilitate and maintain continuous delivery of value to users.
Using the collaboration tools in Azure DevOps correctly, Development and Operations are able to organize tasks, and share and deploy code and documentation.
Things to consider
Must-have for toolkit
Azure DevOps is a must-have toolkit in the cloud world, if you want to reach your goal of transforming IT and speeding up your time-to-market.
Used correctly, it is ideal for deploying and maintaining resources in Azure; for tracking changes; for sharing knowledge; and for more easily planning and organizing work tasks.
Through consistent use of Azure DevOps, your organization is able to support ongoing automation and integrations development of existing and new tasks and processes, ensuring optimal effect and business impact of the services and applications in Azure.
Engage the right people
Azure DevOps is often associated with the application development of a product or service, but this approach is too narrow:
The product or service could also be a solution – an answer – to issues like ‘managing the network infrastructure’ or ‘implementing operational automation’.
Effectively, Azure DevOps is a toolbox for everyone working on delivering any services in IT.
If you can get everyone on board, it can replace processes that take up time, and free up resources for other tasks.
To successfully adopt Azure DevOps you must engage stakeholders currently engaged in building, testing, development, deployment, operating, monitoring and planning tasks.
For hammering, use the hammer
It goes without saying, that a tool works best when used as intended – you don’t use a saw, to do a hammer’s job.
As with all new things, it takes a little practice to get into the full swing of Azure DevOps, and learn how to navigate the different collaboration tools for maximum effect.
There are no rights and wrongs on how to achieve the best results – it depends on the characteristics of your people, the culture in your company and your technological maturity.
