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.

    One thing that I think the devops way of doing things ignores is that we aren't all generalists and interchangeable cogs. While I can sit down and learn all the tools (and in fact already do know some of them well), it's not a very effective use of the time and expertise people already have.

    As a developer, I don't really want to have much to do with setting up jenkins, provisioning, chef/puppet/ansible and all the rest of the glue that makes this stuff go. I already have one full time job which requires significant expertise; I don't need another two or three on top of that. It's one thing to lend a hand and create or tweak a job to test and deploy your stuff, or fiddle with a VM, install a missing packages etc, but maintaining the whole thing end to end is just too much, IMHO. You could employ a sysadmin or ops person to do this; they would likely be better at it!
