The Art of Business Value | Book Series

Overview:

The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software.

This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead.

DevOps | Glossary

Definition:

DevOps is a set of practices that automates the processes between software development and IT teams, so as that they will build, test, and release software quicker and a lot of reliably. The idea of DevOps is based on building a culture of collaboration between teams that traditionally functioned in relative siloes. The promised advantages include exaggerated trust, quicker software releases, ability to solve essential problems quickly, and better manage unplanned work.
