FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The American
Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC), the
premier public-private partnership dedicated to advancing
government through the application of information technology, today
officially announced the release of the "DevOps Primer." It was
produced through a collaborative, volunteer effort by a working
group from government and industry, hosted by the ACT-IAC Emerging
Technology Community of Interest (COI).
DevOps is an organizational philosophy that requires an
essential shift in attitudes and approach. It requires a
growth mindset as much as it does new and reengineered practices
and tools. ACT-IAC developed this primer to be a guide to
support the Federal government in its understanding and application
of DevOps to support its mission. It includes recommendations from
government and industry leaders to identify and explore the
culture, practice, and tools to advance the DevOps journey.
"The ACT-IAC DevOps Primer is an outstanding example of the
power of government and industry collaboration. It contains
essential material for both federal and industry IT leaders looking
for practical ways to innovate and quickly deliver results," said
David Wennergren, CEO of ACT-IAC,
"The featured case studies on federal agencies provide real world
experience on using DevOps to drive improved mission outcomes."
"The ACT-IAC DevOps Primer will help guide federal agencies and
increase their ability to deliver applications and services at a
faster pace than using traditional software development and
infrastructure management processes. It's a must-read,
especially for smaller agencies," stated Jeremy Wood, Director of Policy and Planning,
Office of the Chief Information Officer, Millennium Challenge
Corporation.
"Through hundreds of conversations about what is working and
what is not, the ACT-IAC DevOps Primer shares insights on DevOps
and 'what is next' for Federal agencies. We hope that the lessons
learned and the recommendations will help organizations looking to
apply DevOps tools and practices to fulfill their missions," said
Robin Camarote, Senior Consultant,
Wheelhouse Group.
DevOps in government is the move towards a collaborative and
communicative mindset and culture with streamlined practices by
bringing the development and operations groups together to work as
one team. It is a continuous journey and cannot be completed in a
silo.
