We all know the typical IT behaviors and complains about developers throwing seemingly untested solutions over the wall into production and leaving operations to pick up the pieces. On the other hand, we hear development complaining about the barriers put up by operations that delay deployment, or workload demands placed on developers from IT Operations like small updates, fixing issues and applications not working.
The increasing penetration of IT into all areas of the business and the desire for ever more and ever faster customer facing solutions is compounding the issues even more. As a result, the workload on development and IT Operations is growing, workflows are stuck and, IT Projects are failing, business executives are angry and frustrated, seeing lost business opportunities and risks to business operations.
Your challenge is to use the DevOps principles and apply them in this serious Business Simulation. In three rounds you will work on the IT Projects and IT Issues and make sure “The Phoenix Project” will be finished on time.
