Integrating UX with DevOps is essential for DevOps teams to ensure they solve the right problems and are understanding the user’s real needs.<\/span><\/p>\n
De<\/span>vOps is a rapidly evolving organisational model with teams arranged around a product or service to deliver value to their users more quickly. <\/span>Through breaking down organisational silos, the delivery teams work on a product or product improvements instead of projects which are usually no longer maintained or supported after they\u2019re completed. <\/span>For many organisations, it is a significant culture shift when transitioning to product or service orientated teams and adopting DevOps practices helps to make the transition easier.<\/span><\/p>\n
Nowadays, DevOps is much more than just getting development and operations teams to work together. This is a culture where trust, collaboration, communication and a failing fast mindset are a part of the day-to-day work of the delivery teams as well as the whole organisation. <\/span>It\u2019s also a model where our users are at the heart of everything we do. We identify the user needs by exploring the problem area, then improve our service based on the user feedback and continually learn about our users throughout the whole service lifecycle.<\/span><\/p>\n
Therefore, the DevOps culture can also be described as a culture of continuous improvement where the teams continually learn about their users, innovate and evolve through creating new ideas and taking daily efforts to make things better, faster and more efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Build \u2013 Measure \u2013 Learn<\/i> feedback loop is a very common practice through which the teams build a solution, measure the results based on data and learn based on the user feedback. This cycle can be repeated and applied to new ideas, experiments or product developments. <\/span>Therefore, the ultimate goal is to deliver value to our customer, our customer\u2019s customer and keep up with their changing needs through adopting DevOps practices.<\/span><\/p>\n
