Convincing Numbers

Best DevOps Practices: Incorporate Continuous Delivery
Make sure the software is always in a releasable state, so deployment is a non-event which can be accomplished on demand.
Best DevOps Practices: Use Version Control for All Production Artifacts
This makes it easier for testing and troubleshooting, with changes made during production repeatedly in a reliable, low-risk way.
Best DevOps Practices: Keep Review In-House
IT performance decreases when external approval, such as change-approval boards, are involved. But performance increases when a tech team holds itself accountable for the code quality through peer review.
Best DevOps Practices: Cultivate a Culture of Trust
High-trust cultures fuel better performance. Ensure that promises are kept, communications lines stay open, and teams (and you) react predictably even under stressful situations.
Best DevOps Practices: Encourage Lateral Movement
When IT pros move from one area to another, they bring valuable information about processes and challenges to their new team.
Best DevOps Practices: Let the Team Choose Its Own Tools
If members build the infrastructure and apps they want, they're more likely to stay invested in their work.
