DevOps Concepts from The Phoenix Project

These are often generated from the previous two types of work and are typically tracked in a ticketing system (e.g., Remedy for IT Operations, JIRA, or an Agile planning tool for Development).

These include operational incidents and problems, often caused by the previous types of work and always come at the expense of other planned work commitments.

It frames how a core, chronic conflict between Development and IT operations preordains failure for the entire IT organisation, as well as the organisation it serves.

<p>The conflict increases time to market for Development, creates longer and more problematic deployments during future releases, increases the number of server outages, and IT Operations becomes increasingly buried with unplanned work.</p> Signup and view all the answers
