Gartner: 6 Steps to Increase DevOps Release Velocity by Removing Constraints

Effectively Adopt Cloud, Agile and DevOps

Published June 2020

.

“Many digital organisations adopt cloud, agile and DevOps to accelerate their release cadence, but often fail to resolve critical constraints that inhibit agility.” Get this Gartner report which guides “I&O leaders and application leaders must use six steps to continuously identify and eliminate constraints to optimise their processes.”

In this report, I&O leaders and application leaders responsible for DevOps initiatives can learn how to:

  • Identify the greatest constraint by soliciting team input and analysing cycle times and queue lengths.
  • Minimise waste at the constraint by reducing unplanned work from incidents, eliminating wait states and maximising human potential.
  • Avoid starving the constraint by synchronising the entire IT organisation to the constraint, and add capacity to the constraint by securing the optimal resources to alleviate and remove it.
  • Find the next greatest constraint by reanalysing cycle times and queue lengths.
