DevOps Working Group

What is DevOps?  An approach? A tool? A role? Many government IT leaders find themselves being pushed towards DevOps but have not had a chance to truly understand its benefits, or how to best leverage it as a tool to drive IT value optimization within their agency.

DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver IT applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.(Source)

ACT-IAC created the DevOps Working Group to identify and explore the culture, practice, and tools needed to increase the government's ability to deliver applications and services at a faster pace than using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed will enable the government to better serve their customers and fulfill their mission.

In FY20, the DevOps Working Group developed DevOps Primer, which provides:

  • Terminology and basic concepts.
  • Case studies highlighting where agencies are in their DevOps adoption and implementation journey. It is a collection of lessons learned and ideas for how committed IT professionals can persist through the challenges and make progress.
  • A Maturity Model with stages of advancement which organizations can use to move toward a state of continuous improvement.
  • Recommendations from government and industry leaders to advance the DevOps journey.

For current ACT-IAC members who are interested in joining this Working Group, send a request to Nancy Delanoche.
