  1. Agile vs. DevOps

  2. History of Agile and DevOps

  3. Agile: Agile was the answer for resolving the long, rigid, and repetitive process that engaged the entire team to one application with endless backlogs or issues to troubleshoot. History of Agile and DevOps Agile software development introduced a new way to break the entire product into small pieces and later integrate them for the final test. DevOps: DevOps was the solution to bridge the productivity gap between the developers and the operations teams. the DevOps event or the methodology was never meant to override or take over other methodologies. Instead, it was simply a cultural shift that would improve cross-departmental integrations for quick product delivery.

  4. “It’s complicated”: Agile and DevOps

  5. “It’s complicated”: Agile and DevOps When used together in the work processes, they are known for providing greater output, maximizing efficiency, and even reliable results, irrespective of how complex the project is. The questions usually range from – Are DevOps and Agile interrelated? Is it worth risking the cultural shift to adopt both? Is it a risk-free evolutionary developmental method for complex projects? How productive is it for the team in the long run? To answer these questions – YES, DevOps and Agile can be interrelated. Statistical evidence suggests that amongst the companies and many organizations that have adopted DevOps, 63% have experienced a continuous improvement in the product development process.

  6. How do Agile and DevOps interrelate? Going back to Agile and DevOps methodology basics, it is clear that Agile laid the foundation for DevOps. This is because Agile focuses on the flow of software from ideation to code creation, while DevOps takes it up a notch and extends the approach to delivery and maintenance. The ultimate end goal of both Agile and DevOps is to enable collaboration between different departments, achieve scalability, amplify the feedback loop, release products quickly, and improve business productivity. If we were to see the bigger picture, organizations can rely on both DevOps and Agile methodologies to realize their software development goals and get higher returns on their investments.

  7. PARAMETERS AGILE DEVOPS DevOps vs. Agile A project management methodology End-to-end software engineering practices PURPOSE Implementing constant changes as per client requirements and feedback Constant testing and delivery (Maintaining CI/CD pipelines) FOCUS Scrum, Kanban, Lean Development, DSDM, Feature-Driven Development Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, Continuous Delivery MANIFESTATION Here is a table for a conceptual comparison of both the methodologies to let you know how both differ, how they interlink, and some characteristic qualities that you would have to consider during implementation. DevOps divides and encompasses a wide variety of skill set across development and operations team Team members have a similar skill set SKILL SET Uses short sprints, and other time-boxed approaches to respond to change quickly Targeted deployments are made quite frequently TIME DURATION

  8. PARAMETERS AGILE DEVOPS Customers or stakeholders Internal DevOps team members DevOps vs. Agile FEEDBACK LOOP Daily scrum. Communication with other departments is conducted at the end of one process within the software development cycle. Inter-departmental communication, design documents, and process documentation throughout the software development cycle. COMMUNICATION Here is a table for a conceptual comparison of both the methodologies to let you know how both differ, how they interlink, and some characteristic qualities that you would have to consider during implementation. More emphasis on a working process rather than on documentation Documentation is pivotal. DOCUMENTATION Automation is one of the basic principles (includes automated testing, integration, deployment, and delivery) No priority on automation AUTOMATION JIRA, Trello, Wrike, Kanbanize, Hive, etc Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, Puppet, Chef, etc POPULAR TOOLS

  9. Conclusion By now, one thing is for certain – Agile and DevOps are the joint rulers in the software engineering ecosystem. If you have not adopted any of it within your organization, then you are way behind in the line. Agile and DevOps together are known for providing more benefits than implementing a single methodology alone. If you are still thinking about Agile vs. DevOps, your focus should be on implementing and following the best practices rather than choosing one over another. They both interrelate with one another to stabilize the IT infrastructure and improve business readiness.
