Project Objectives
© 2019 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc.7
How effective are agile methods and DevOps at transforming IT and the business?
• Development teams. To establish what type of pipeline is in place, its effectiveness,
and how it has changed developer roles.
• Operations staff. To determine how DevOps has impacted IT operations, how well
DevOps is addressing IT Ops needs, and how the Dev to Ops handoff should be
improved.
• IT service management (ITSM). To understand how DevOps is supporting the ITSM
agenda, what’s working and what isn’t, and the most important open issues.
• IT executives. To determine what the IT DevOps strategy is, understand the current
and intended scope of DevOps initiatives, and the most significant challenges in
execution of this strategy.
