DevOps idea appeared in IT field already in 2009 and since then, it has been systematically entering global business world as a method of running software development projects. After over 10 years, we know that DevOps bring measurable benefits, improving the efficiency of applications development process.
That’s the end of the era of fixed divisions into teams and subteams working on particular parts of projects and building figurative walls between specialists. Currently, the most important place is taken by teamwork and cooperation, which guarantee better communication in a company, more efficient problem-solving and employee involvement. Introducing DevOps idea into an organization requires the implementation of the right tools and normalization of the work environment. It’s a complex and time-consuming process, but it’s worth the effort.
According to the data gathered by Atlassian in a report „DevOps Maturity” in 2017, over 65% of companies which have implemented DevOps idea in their teams recorded significant benefits. Among those, there are i.a.: shorter time of software release, better matching between product and client’s expectations, faster reaction to errors and efficient implementation of innovations. Some companies are introducing DevOps idea step by step, starting with common tools which are used by both developers and operational teams – 80% of respondents have chosen this answer. Similar observations have been indicated in reports by Puppet and Slunk.

DevOps relates to cooperation between developers and the other members of operational teams which create applications. Its main idea is teamwork and involvement of all specialists at every stage of a project.

During the recent Atlassian DevOps MasteryCamp in Amsterdam, TT PSC representatives- Magdalena Kwaczyńska (business analyst) and Daniel Chwaszczewski (DevOps Coordinator), found out why and in what way it is worth informing clients about benefits that work according to DevOps bring.
