Prescription for DevOps adoption
A maturity model approach: identify key pain points, assess current capabilities, produce a
heat map of focus areas, and establish a roadmap for execution
Identify key pain
points in the delivery
process
6
Assess current
capabilities using the
DevOps maturity
model
Produce heat maps of
capability gaps and
areas of improvement
to determine priority
Establish a roadmap
with milestones and
execution timelines

It’s about the people, principles and values…
Lean, agile and DevOps
transformation changes are
culture changes
“Culture reflects the
realities of people working
together every day…
…a set of values,
practices, and traditions
that define who we are as a
group.”
--Frances Hesselbeim
