DevOps is a mindset, a culture, and a set of techniques that product teams embrace to reduce the software development life cycle, improve collaboration and visibility. It accelerates time to market for new updates while also ensuring the top-notch quality of releases. DevOps involves the combination of software development (Dev) and IT Operations (Ops) personnel into cross-functional teams capable of building, running, and monitoring their product releases.

Collaboration is the staple of modern workplaces. Teams used to communicate with e-mails, but the hassle of finding and keeping track of information made them move to chat-based apps. Team chat apps made it possible to connect the whole team in a single place. But, collaboration doesn't stop with the team members; it extends to clients, tools, and bots, which are required by teams to work effectively and stay on track with goals.

It’s a big industry, software. There’s a lot of money to be made, and a lot of fun and satisfaction to be had. With skills in DevOps, you’ll always be in demand – as a freelancer, or as an employee.

Over the last decade or so, we have seen organizations competing to rapidly launch products and new updates. This also often meant that information security lagged behind, as evinced by the fact that we have seen many companies facing major breaches and attacks over the last couple of years. The DevOps approach which focused on rapid development proved ineffective for robust security. This is where DevSecOps emerged.

“The biggest organizations in the world are pivoting to a product-centric operating model,” opens Charles Betz, Principal Analyst at Forrester, on a recent webinar. But with product structures emerging as the primary operating model, new challenges are emerging in technical product management. While newly-formed product teams are persistent, heterogenous, outcome-oriented, and customer-focused, for the most part, they still haven’t solved the question of autonomy.
