So you say you are implementing DevOps?

New research suggests there is more to having a successful DevOps implementation than you might be aware of, or are adequately addressing.

So, do you have a definition of DevOps?

I'm an Ops/Infra guy, and a freelance consultant. More and more I find managers at my customers that 'want DevOps' because they think it's the ultimate tool. It will fix the islands-problem and all teams magically will communicate with each other, since that's what DevOps involves. Please note that these are the words from a manager I've met about two weeks ago. So indeed, what is DevOps? Or if it's some abstract thing like ITIL, the question should be: How have you implemented, or how would you want to, implement DevOps within your organization. I also wonder where the story originated that DevOps is the ultimate tool to solve the islands-problem. More and more of the managers I meet say some variation of this to me, and I'm having a hard time to get them to understand this is not the case. DevOps is a goal, not a tool?

We're not quite full fledged DevOps, but many a day I get mad at the business unit for their nit-picky requests and my response is to login into the prod servers through Explorer, build VS, publish VS, and then click the prod RoboCopy scripts. Easy Peasy DevOps!
