How do Agile and DevOps Interrelate

Author

The world of software development can be complex and ever-changing, and keeping up with the latest methodologies and practices can be challenging. Two of the most popular approaches used today are agile and DevOps. While these two practices are distinct, they are closely related and can work together to improve the quality and speed of software development. In this article, we’ll explore how agile and DevOps interrelate, and how a partner like Valtira can help you implement these methodologies.

Agile is a software development methodology that emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and customer satisfaction. It is based on the Agile Manifesto, a set of principles that prioritize working software, customer involvement, and adaptability. Agile teams work in short iterations or sprints, delivering small but functional pieces of software that can be tested and reviewed by the customer. This allows the team to quickly respond to feedback and adjust the project’s direction as needed.

DevOps, on the other hand, is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations. DevOps aims to improve the speed and reliability of software delivery by breaking down the traditional silos between development and operations teams. DevOps teams use automation and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) to streamline the development and deployment processes, reducing the time and effort required to release new software.

While agile and DevOps have different goals and focus areas, they are complementary and can work together to improve software development. Agile provides the framework for the development process, allowing teams to work in short iterations and respond quickly to customer feedback. DevOps provides the infrastructure and tools needed to deploy software quickly and reliably, enabling agile teams to deliver new features and updates to customers more frequently.
