Abstract
In today's fast-changing environment, many organizations are applying the DevOps (Development and Operations) concept to transform their IT functions and establish cross-functional IT teams to deliver software services quickly, reliably, and safely with end-to-end responsibility. The results of an empirical study on which this chapter is based presents platform-oriented, application-oriented, and mobile-oriented DevOps setups, outlining areas of potential collaboration between these DevOps setups and the importance of aligning the aims of development (process agility) and operations (process rigor). Based on the study, six indicators of successful DevOps integration formulated as recommendations for successful IT function transformation were identified.
