DevOps in the Modern Software Organization

The solution to the issue of silos in an organization, it would seem, was to alter the culture, simplify and automate the delivery of software changes (by doing it more often), change the architecture of software solutions (away from monoliths), and pave the way for the organization to outmaneuver the competition through synergy, agility, and velocity. The idea is that if a business can deliver features that customers want faster than the competition, they will outdo their opponents.

It was for these reasons that modern DevOps approaches came to fruition. This approach also allowed incremental approaches to DevOps adoption within an organization.
