2018 DevOps Predictions

December 21, 2017

In this DevOps Digest article, Scrum.org CEO Dave West provides his insights and thoughts about the future. 

Agile will continue to move from a development/ IT initiative to a broader business one. That means that Agile and Scrum will be applied across the entire software delivery team to include operations and security to help cross functional teams deliver their complex work. It will also affect more traditional functions such as HR, purchasing, marketing and governance. Organizations will continue to wrestle with the disconnect of what being Agile means to their structures, roles and processes. This will lead, in part, to a realization that adopting Agile is a complex problem, which should therefore be approached in an Agile manner — incrementally, adapting as they go, driven by the customer and focused on the team!
