DevOps is best known in the field of software services, but its principles are applicable in all contexts where fast delivery of reliable products and services is relevant. DevOps contributes to the success of the overall organization by facilitating the synergy of Agile development, service management and Lean improvement while assuring security and maintaining control in a continuous delivery pipeline. 

The primary purpose of this module is to test whether the candidate is familiar with DevOps practices in the Three Ways: flow, feedback, and continual learning and experimentation. The candidate will understand the impact of these organizational and technical changes on their daily work. 

The word DevOps is a contraction of ‘Development’ and ‘Operations’. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to: continuous integration: merging all developed working copies to a shared mainline several times a day continuous deployment: release continuously or as often as possible continuous feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stages. 

The DevOps practices covered in this certification are derived from the Three Ways: 

The First Way is to enable the work to move fast from left to right, from Development to Operations to the customer. 

The Second Way is to enable feedback to go fast from right to left, from all stakeholders back into the value stream. 

The Third Way is to enable learning by creating a high-trust culture of experimentation and risk-taking. 

Moreover, the crucial subjects of security in all stages, and maintaining compliance during change are covered.

DevOps adoption 

the First Way: flow 

the Second Way: feedback 

the Third Way: continual learning and experimentation
