Without DevOps In IT Five Killer Problems How To Learn DevOps



We are proud to announce that this article was featured...
HERE on LinkedIn >>>


Hi there, Let's be all together extremely honest today!

In the world of IT without DevOps, development and operations teams do usually conflict. End-to-end quality assurance of required client features and benefits first start after development team begins to work on a completely different project. Information security and production readiness audits are conducted the day before the planned production roll-out ...

Solving software problems at this critical project stage, especially design and security flaws that must have been already identified and rectified 8 months ago do not only yield challenges for the successful continuity of your IT, but also for the continuity of your business. Tired developers, uncooperative operations, testing and information security silos, demanding but desperate project and product managers, angry executives and frustrated clients and IT stakeholders do not really add much added value.

Too many hands-off of activities and dependencies in every possible imaginable direction, countless uncoordinated, manual, nontransparent work in your IT department is just another day in business.

Despite of long lead times to get any work done, there is no better option available, at least not for now, and you know that you still need this job to earn money.


Finally the big day comes...

After a problematic and chaotic production deployment which caused significant downtime at your business, you wonder if your deployment broke anything in the existing production functionality. You start thinking of the lack of clarity and tangible evidence about what really have happened and what have been really impacted in your production systems.

And yet Go-Live celebration already starts in the corridors of your large IT room. It’s also time for you to have a drink and mentally recover from the tough and sleepless night you left behind. What you broke last night in your production will be anyway the problem of somebody else. This is not a big deal…

Having said that you must be now wondering how it’s possible at all that these tough projects can finish in one or another way although they once have been really in an ugly and desperate shape. The answer lies in The Infinite Monkey Theorem. In a nutshell, the infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. This is no joke.

Similar to this, beyond any predictability about when the work can finish, provided that your IT team sufficiently delays and gains time for a given project, it will surely deliver the project.



Here Comes Our Promise:
Five Killer Problems You Must Be Aware Of In An IT Without DevOps!


Killer Problem #1. Chronic Conflict Between Development and Operations!

Among many other key responsibilities, there are two major missions in your IT organization:

  1. Your development team has to quickly deliver to respond changing demands from your clients and from the market your business serves for.
  2. Your operations team has to guarantee stable, predictable, secure and continuous service to serve your clients and market.

Given that your IT organization is structured in this way, your development and operations teams have conflicting missions and motivations. This conflict reduces productivity, quality of service, client satisfaction and outcomes of your IT department and finally your overall business performance.


Killer Problem #2. Now You’re in Technical Debt!

Continuous firefighting, workarounds and unplanned activities to save your day will only result in accumulation of more technical debt. This not only impacts the performance of your development and operations, but it also negatively impacts all other units including your architecture, information security, testing, product management, release management and your business stakeholders.

You can resemble technical debt in financial debt. The more financial debt you have, the less options you have got to reach your desired goals. Ultimately it becomes almost impossible to give correct decision to reach the desired outcomes and you would be more likely to make additional financial debt.

Technical debt has no difference. The more technical debt you have, the less options you have to build and deliver correct solutions. Finally, you end up building workarounds on the top of workarounds, house of cards on house of cards. And it is a matter of time before they all collapse. You already know this.


Killer Problem #3. Your Business Earns From Most Fragile Systems!

A non-surprising but concerning fact about your business is that your most critical and revenue-generating systems are most prone to errors, crashes and downtimes.

These systems are usually in the center of your business and you have yet to participate a meeting that they are not somehow part of discussions. They are the most critical systems impacted by almost all projects. Due to the their severity in your business, they deserve continuous work, urgent changes, unplanned fixes, and yet these systems are never tired of producing Priority-1 incidents.


Killer Problem #4. You Promise Bigger If You Break One!

As your IT organization constantly breaks promises and frustrates its stakeholders, your stakeholders become more demanding to compensate the past. You and your leaders have often say nothing, but “why not” unless there is a better job offer lined up.

Then your software development and delivery organizations are assigned a larger challenge than usual. As your critical systems and IT architecture are not even in a close proximity to cover these requirements in given “urgent” timelines, you set out designing your new workarounds on the top of your existing set of workarounds.


Killer Problem #5. You Have No More Fun At Work!

And finally everyone gets little bit busier. Your calendar have no more free space to perform an hour of uninterrupted work for the position you are hired and paid for. Emails rain to your inbox, so you are now using mostly unproductive time at your meetings to clear and scan your mostly unclear and pointless incoming emails. You are curious why there is no mandatory training at your organization to teach how to use and write emails.

You’re usually dependent on other teams to be able to continue your own work. And yet the expectations you communicated a couple of weeks ago are not even in the radar of the other team yet because they just started their new “Horizon 2400” project while they had to solve 9 Priority-1 incidents caused by their fragile software applications.

You are slowly little bit impatient because you need some answers from your designated single point of contact person at the other team to get your own work going.

You couldn’t stop and sent another email to remind your request. This time you put her boss in CC and you thought you should have done this when you sent your request for the first time.

A couple of seconds haven’t passed yet and two out-of-office notifications popped up on your screen. Your single point of contact at the other team will be at “Horizon 2400” workshops until the end of this week. And her boss is sick at home today.



Summary and Next Steps ...

In this article we attempted to explain the challenges most of businesses and IT professionals face. The downward spirals and vicious cycles almost every business and every professional live with.

Gartner estimates that companies worldwide waste yearly about 600 billion USD for non-budgeted and non-scheduled IT maintenance work to keep revenue-generating IT systems up and running.

Just to express this number with digits to see how it looks like:
$600,000,000,000.- What???

As it might have been clear for you until this point, this level of waste in a highly cognitive profession such as information technology is not trivial to comprehend.

This is a good challenge to tackle with. DevOps have some answers for some companies and may be for your company too. Of course, if your company is ready to experiment, learn and adapt.

Is this really the correct approach? Is it better to highlight benefits of adopting DevOps or the cost of not adopting?

10 Tips to get the Best out of Your Daily Scrum Meetings
Our Guest Blogger - Nirav Patel (RapidOps Solutions) , 08 Mai 2023
Daily Scrum Daily Scrum Meeting Agile Scrum Team Work

The term ‘Meeting’ brings to our mind an atmosphere where a group of people are sitting together to discuss serious issues: Some sitting bored and uninterested; some staring blankly trying hard to get a grasp of what are being discussed; and still some aggressively trying to prove their point. However, with changing times and methodologies, with pressure to meet deadlines, with time constraints, with increasing competition and with the need to stay a step ahead, there arose a new face of meetings- ‘The Scrum Meetings’ or more commonly known as ‘The Daily Scrum Meetings’.

There is so much more to be a software tester than merely logging bugs and testing to identify errors. There are inspiring examples of Agile working environments. Software testers have there the privilege to work as part of development teams which are like working on a movie set with the writers and producers. The testers work with everyone on the team, from the Junior Programmers to the Senior Project Leaders and inventors to continuously improve and build quality into the products and services.
