Enterprise DevOps entails full lifecycle ALM practices that span software development and operations to accelerate last mile velocity in delivering value with agility and quality. The practices promote and enable integrating the development and operations functions early in and throughout the application lifecycle to address last mile velocity impediments and shorten value delivery cycle times. From a development perspective, this extends agile practices to operations. In today’s world, this integration for delivering continuous value is crucial as it allows a natural way to implement a continuous feedback loop between the development and operations functions.
