Building Highly Effective DevOps TeamsCategory: Software, Architecture, automation
by When it started to get traction as a concept, almost 10 years ago, DevOps was primarily used to push rapid changes to web environments with minimal impact for the users.
While having great developers specialized in individual programming frameworks and languages is great, a highly effective team will have people that can jump from back-end to front-end and be more of a jack of all trades rather than a one-trick pony.
"Regular standup meetings (performed in an agile environment) can help other team members, other teams what a person is working on and permit more insights to offer other people that they may want to know.A model that they are not familiar with can have a dry run(test run) approach, select a few people from each team and work in the model presented to them to see the benefits and negative parts of it."
Naturally, once you get your DevOps team going you’ll want to track their effectiveness and the best way of doing it is by looking at KPIs, key performance indicators.
