Organizations must be flexible to satisfy their customers’ ever-changing needs and deliver services and solutions that not only meet but also exceed their expectations in terms of timeliness, functionality, and overall performance. This can only be done by instituting a cultural change that prioritizes teamwork, open and honest communication, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. DevOps cannot be successful without the backing of all of the organization’s primary stakeholders. Everyone should be involved at every step, starting with defining the requirements and continuing through prototype development, unit, integration, regression testing, and eventually deployment.

Automate Wherever Possible
Automation allows jobs to be completed more rapidly throughout the SDLC, enabling it to keep up with the speed of DevOps. Automation may be used to benefit code development, middleware setup, database and networking updates, and key testing such as regression testing and load testing. Automation reduces the amount of time, effort, and total costs spent by developers, testers, and operational personnel.
Determine Essential Metrics
Senior management may have a particularly difficult time comprehending the benefits of a DevOps shift. By comparing your current state, collect data that may be used as evidence of the advantages. These metrics should contain data such as how often updates are released, how many support tickets are routinely received after a new release, how long the average application problem lasts, and the business impact of each issue.
