Key Features
Explore the five elements of the CALMR approach with examples to avoid the product development challenges
Use the keys of Value Stream Management to introduce systems thinking and flow for product development
Demonstrate how Continuous Delivery Pipeline combines practices and technology to optimize your value stream
Book Description
Product development and release in today's world faces many overlapping challenges due to the combined pressure of delivering high-quality products in shorter time-to-market cycles along with maintaining the proper operation and ensuring security in a complex high-tech environment. New ways of thinking are required to overcome these challenges from design to development, to release, and beyond. SAFe for DevOps Practitioners explains the DevOps approach based on the Scaled Agile Framework and details how value streams help to optimize these challenges using examples and use cases.
This book begins with explaining how the CALMR approach makes DevOps effective in resolving product development roadblocks. Next, you'll learn to apply Value Stream Management for establishing a value stream that enables product development flow, measure its effectiveness through appropriate feedback loops, and find ways of improving it. Finally, you'll look at implementing a Continuous Delivery Pipeline that optimizes the value stream through four phases during the release on demand. This book complements the latest SAFe DevOps courses and you'll find it useful while studying for the SAFe DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification.
By the end of this agile DevOps book, you'll understand how to achieve continuous execution and release on demand using DevOps and the Scaled Agile Framework.
