This is a lot so I’ve starred the biggest impact stuff. Ultimately, the elevator pitch is that DevOps is really “From Business to Development to Operations”. Eliminate as much friction possible so that The Business can go from ‘Having an idea’ to ‘developing the idea’ to ‘deploying the idea so we can measure the results’ smoothly and quickly. The end outcome is shorter, faster deployment cycles, the ability to try more ideas more quickly, better feedback, and agility when responding to market pressures.
