Enterprise DevOps Grid Jonny Wooldridge this deck available here:

The team’s level of agile working practices (Agile/lean) Level of Independently testable and deployable software Low High Software Design Team Low High Slow Fast Continuous Delivery Daily/Weekly Independent Monthly Coordinated Quarterly Enterprise Enterprise DevOps Grid. Use the grid to explain your DevOps journey. The background is set as a layout. Sometime you don’t want the arrows (bottom left to top right) so there is one without them! Cheers, Jonny

The team’s level of agile working practices (Agile/lean) Level of Independently testable and deployable software Low High Software Design Team Low High Slow Fast Continuous Delivery Daily/Weekly Independent Monthly Coordinated Quarterly Enterprise In this example the team are aware of DevOps and start automating build/deploy/test and using Continuous Integration. The Operations team are involved early. Enterprise Project Methodology/Governance/Finance promotes integrated test phases and big bang deployment. The intention is to deploy independently hence it’s position on the grid. The plan is to think about Continuous Delivery later in the project STEP 1: Start with good intentions NEW Legacy Zone An example project: part 1 Don’t create new ‘legacy’

The team’s level of agile working practices (Agile/lean) Level of Independently testable and deployable software Low High Software Design Team Low High Slow Fast Continuous Delivery Daily/Weekly Independent Monthly Coordinated Quarterly Enterprise The team is under pressure and functionality is prioritised over keeping automated test and deployment scripts updated. Ops team not as engaged as they had been. The team tried BDD but did not continue with it as the value wasn’t being seen. Project Manager requests a detailed plan for all tasks until go-live. Agility starts to slip. Technical debt increases. STEP 2: The inevitable project pressures show up NEW Legacy Zone An example project: part 2 Don’t create new ‘legacy’

The team’s level of agile working practices (Agile/lean) Level of Independently testable and deployable software Low High Software Design Team Low High Slow Fast Continuous Delivery Daily/Weekly Independent Monthly Coordinated Quarterly Enterprise The application was on track to be delivered but new dependencies are found (e.g with corporate reporting and finance systems or corporate middleware) The new application is now tied into a corporate release cycle. Importantly the application might now always be tied into corporate release cycle until the dependencies are broken (if that is possible) STEP 3: Find corporate legacy dependencies Legacy Zone An example project: part 3 NEW Don’t create new ‘legacy’
