Understand the benefits of enterprise DevOps

Changing established working practices and adopting new tools is never a decision to be taken lightly or in haste.

IBM can help you to evaluate how well development teams are working by collecting baseline information about today's development process efficiency using value stream analysis techniques, and to map out the opportunity in adopting CI for a z/OS DevOps experience.

IBM Z as a hybrid server allows customers the most modern experience and opens up the possibilities for scalable hybrid application architectures. Enterprise DevOps builds the foundation to rapidly develop, test, and release your software. Explore IBM's solution page for discovering and planning for z/OS hybrid applications.

In this part of the IBM Z DevOps Guide, we provide the information to help decision makers to:

• Understand the opportunities for improvement by applying DevOps to IBM Z.
• Appreciate what is involved in making the changes including the scope of the changes, and the types of activities and skills required to make the changes.
• Make an informed commitment to embark on the modernization journey.

These preparation steps often require some learning tailored to your role - for instance, to learn why moving to Git is fundamental for applying DevOps - and at least an outline plan. These topics also covered in this IBM Z DevOps Guide.
