What are the benefits of a team following DevOps practices?

  Hello,

    In this blog, I'm going to explain about What are the benefits of a team following DevOps practices?

DevOps Best Practices:

    DevOps requires teams to participate in deeper - and often more difficult - conversations that can become uncomfortable. The ultimate outcome is to enhance how teams work together and move forward more swiftly and accurately than ever before. 

    These  DevOps best practices go across the spectrum of the project, from upfront communication to continuous delivery and automation.

1. Gain the active participation of stakeholders as an early opportunity for the team to successfully drive change.
2. Automate testing to allow developers and testers to test code early and often.
3. Introduce change management at each stage, bringing enterprise-level issues to the forefront of a broader audience.
4. Create system-wide structures for configuration management that consolidate operations and add visibility to IT leaders.
5. Define integrated deployment best-practices and ensure they are used throughout the internal and external development community.
6. Ensure users have access to development support once new builds are released.
7. Regularly update code repositories, ensuring that updates receive continuous integration into the workflow.
8. Take advantage of continuous deployment tools to ensure new features are quickly brought to the organization. (Xray integrate with CI tools like Jenkins, GitLab and Team City that give the whole team visibility into test automation) 
9. Build, release and test code more quickly - while offering significant value to the organization - with continuous delivery.
10. Automate dashboards to allow all team members and leadership to quickly identify bottlenecks and dive deeper into any roadblocks. (Jira and Xray dashboards show you key Quality metrics like requirements traceability, requirements coverage, and overall test coverage) 
11. Ensure applications have adequate monitoring, often automated, that allows teams to proactively identify difficulties with production code.

    As you can see, automation plays a large part in ensuring that DevOps teams are successful in creating usable and clean code which quickly adds value back to the organization.
