In today's fiercely competitive environment for customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, agile and DevOps are driving happier customers and employees. Results from a new CA Technologies global study reveal that advanced users of agile or DevOps realized significant increases of up to 52 percent in customer satisfaction and up to 50 percent in employee productivity.

The results showed a 30 percent advantage in employee recruitment and retention for companies that used agile and DevOps together to improve the working atmosphere for their employees – a huge benefit when you consider the shortage of talent in IT and the costs associated with attracting and retaining the best employees.

I guess I can't argue against it since I've been doing it nearly everywhere I've worked since the late 90s. Having separate Dev/Ops teams in SMBs [Small and Medium Businesses] is a pretty hard sell.

    Yes, agreed.
    It took me a long time but I now have the business including us security team in change management/project planning meetings (not their choice, some of them still insist that because its in the "cloud" the security team is not needed because its not the business's computers). I have managed to put some pressure, mainly by nuking from orbit (decertifying projects that were already live - effectively stopping the flow of data) until their latest change was rolled back (something something self-signed instead of our PKI because the low level dev didn't have the passwords to generate and couldn't wait until we got to the ticket because of business SLA pressure)

    Its already in QA, but I've come across multiple sets of paperwork with security's signature left blank but with final acceptance rolled out because the business had promised a deliverable to out clients and security was "too busy to look at it in a timely fashion". We only picked it up when there was an assessment request on a update and we requested the V1 paperwork

    Speaking to my drinking mates downunder its pretty common position to be in in this (major) city.
