Software Development and Operations Excellence
Not to sound cliche, but the organization’s people make it successful. When organizations are able to unlock their members’ creativity and focus on organizational goals they can achieve hyper-success. Keys to organizational and team success are a clear articulation of goals and an operational framework that provide paved roads with guard rails to achieve success. Getting these two right provides hyper-focus on the right business opportunities to execute as well as significantly eliminating distractions and redundant work across the organization.
The focus of this section is to lay out an end-to-end software development framework focused on Product Management, Agile, DevSecOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering principles that provides the focus and traction for successful execution. The hope is this counters the situational application of SDLC that is ineffectively and inconsistently applied across the majority of organizations.

CI/CD
DevOps is quite literally the unification of the legacy development and operations silos–both in terms of word formation and meaning. That unification breeds improved collaboration and focus around the delivery process to power quality, innovation, and agility. Synergies radiate beyond the delivery process. For instance, in an automated CI/CD environment developers can more quickly iterate through changes with less cognitive load. The concerns of tracking outdated or [security] compromised dependencies and how their changes will negatively impact the larger code base are mostly shifted to automation.
