Learnings for Continuous Innovation

The book has argued that the diffusion of digitalization and thus software-defined business inevitably causes organizations to pursue continuous innovation. DevOps has been presented as an approach to meet the challenges of digital transformation via the five principles culture, automation, lean, measurement, and sharing, which were combined with continuous approaches to a continuous innovation framework. This final chapter summarizes the observations from diverse DevOps approaches and the application at T-Systems MMS. It shows that DevOps calls for change within organizations, in particular, on behalf of traditional IT management. Although DevOps will not be applicable for all projects, it defines a firm’s digitalization and collaborative culture to remain competitive.
