Devops in digital transformation digital risk

The success or failure of the transformation , It depends on the final transformation effect and value , Whether it's digital or DevOps, It's all about results , We should not transform for the sake of transformation .DevOps As a key built-in stage of digital transformation , To undertake the IT organization “ Value delivery ” The carrier function of , Undertake the data capacity output of digital operation , At the same time, from the perspective of value , Bring digital insight and business contribution to the business unit .DevOps As an enterprise IT The logical starting point of infrastructure and technology operation construction , Realize the cost in the process of comprehensive operation of the enterprise by means of technology 、 Benefits 、 Quality optimization , And new technologies 、 Cultivation of innovative models . In the process of digital transformation ,DevOps Output a series of digital indicators from the perspective of data measurement and feedback , End to end digital touch to software delivery and multiple links of product life cycle , At the same time, the business scenarios 、 Office scene 、 Collaborative scenarios for data-driven transformation . As the enterprise's goal of digital transformation is gradually extended , And managers' understanding of digital empowerment continues to deepen , Encourage enterprises to DevOps The capability requirements for digital full link scenarios are becoming higher and higher , At the same time, the digital transformation gradually entering the deep-water area also brings a series of digital risks , It is embodied in digital visualization and digital operation . stay IT Inside the organization ,IT The transition of architecture from steady state to sensitive state , It brings risks of horizontal process driving and vertical data feedback in the software delivery process , In the business organization , The scene coverage of digital feedback and the prominence of vanity indicators have reduced the ability of risk early warning and disposal , The risks brought by data decision-making are more hidden, leading to the passive avoidance of rules , Within the enterprise ,IT strategic management 、 Organizational structure 、 Digital culture 、 Business lines and IT Customer service and other multi-level data concepts and data caliber also further magnify the digital risk . therefore , Data managers need to manage data prudently and properly , Form a unified data caliber and a full scene data flow link , Ensure positive feedback of figures and continuous clearing of stock data risks .

One 、DevOps Digital risk in the process

stay DevOps Best practice cases , The author thinks , Digital risk is not just focused on measurement and feedback , Lack of high-order scenario of test data 、 The link of safety data is connected 、 Universal prediction of user experience is the manifestation of digital risk , The most common digital risk scenarios are IT Organizational effectiveness evaluation ,IT Post evaluation and cost review of the project , Guarantee feedback during product operation . because DevOps Cultural characteristics ,IT The collaborative environment and responsibility sharing mode of members will transfer product problems , Finally, it is reflected in the business scenario through product operation , This is a DevOps The advantages of , It's also DevOps Potential risk factors in practice .

01、 Missing high-order scenarios for test data

The test is DevOps A key link in the capability sub domain , To undertake “ Product level ” Product release , Especially in the left shift phase of the test , Extend quality to business requirements . therefore , Testing is very important to verify whether the behavior of the application or service meets the expectations and whether the product can be delivered safely .

Missing high-order scenarios for test data , about “ Value delivery ” for , It usually causes problems in the stability and accuracy of test results , Affect product quality and safety , For digital decision support , Complete test data can simulate data changes in the process of business operation in advance , And the transformation process of target users . This high-level scenario is oriented to the business and requirements organization , At the same time, it gives the positive feedback to digital users .

02、 The link of safety data is connected

The scenario of security data is embedded into... Through risk aversion DevOps“ Value delivery ” link , It can effectively avoid hazards during product delivery , At the same time guarantee DevOps Amplification of advantages . The link of safety data is connected , In the process of software delivery and product operation , Continuous monitoring of data performance , Deliver infrastructure through services 、 Full visibility of applications and their interdependencies 、 Intelligent analysis of business data , Ensure that potential threats can be addressed before affecting business operations . meanwhile , Link up the safety data , It can be oriented to all nodes in the product operation process , In business language , Carry out information transmission and public opinion transmission from a business perspective , Drive digital visualization and digital operation to realize safe telemetry .

03、 The universality of user experience

In traditional DevOps In practice , Pay more attention to the implementation and lead time of requirements , As user habits change , prompt DevOps And business organizations , It is mainly manifested in the universality and predictive ability of user experience . According to the statistics of authoritative data , The user experience is mainly focused on high expectations for functions and low tolerance for problems , therefore DevOps Digital feedback needs to be put in front , Cover user experience scenarios , From a user perspective , Extend the digital scenario to business planning 、 Product needs 、 Test data 、 Release strategy and final business monitoring , Fully understand the business and focus on the user experience , Visibility introduction and governance of user experience in a digital visual way .

Two 、 Digital risks in the process of digital transformation

Digital transformation , The most critical node is the digitalization of business objectives , It is often called digital operation or digital strategy , The most important node is comprehensive digital thinking , This is also the core for digital engineering to become an enterprise level project . therefore , The leader of an enterprise must have the role of a digital user , At the same time, it is also responsible for digital risk .

The author thinks ,DevOps As a key part of the digital transformation , It should also rise to the height of enterprise level engineering , Whether for the product “ Value delivery ” Or enterprise data “ Numbers empower ”, All need a clear functional definition . Look at digital risk from the perspective of enterprise management , There are mainly three aspects , The risks of digital warfare 、 The risks of digital decision-making and digital vision .

01、 The risks of digital warfare

Compared with data indicators, digital countermeasures , More from the perspective of business operation , stay DevOps The area of measurement , There are many core indicators and vanity indicators of confrontation , The risk of this confrontation is likely to lead to a consequential shift in the final value , Similar problems also exist in the process of digital transformation . As long as the numbers have value , There must be the possibility of digital benefits , Digital confrontation depends on the understanding of digital objectives by enterprise managers in different scenarios and stages .

The comprehensive digital operation of the enterprise covers IT Lean operation of the organization 、 The lean operation of operating organizations and the lean operation of functional organizations , In different organizations and different scenarios , Digital feedback is often limited to milestones or goals , There are also “ Contrary to each other ” The situation of , Typical examples are the Inconformity between energy efficiency and results , Instability of operational strategies and results , Uncertainty in project forecasts and results , Therefore, digital confrontation is the periodic feedback result of managers' thinking mode and understanding ability .

02、 The risks of digital decision-making

In most of the scenes , The risk of digital aided decision-making comes from the comprehensiveness of numbers 、 Definition and standardization , The lack of digital information system and backward technology is an important reason for the distortion of digital decision-making , meanwhile , Another key reason for decision-making distortion is that digital users' cognition of numbers is biased .

The most important thing in enterprise digital transformation is information system and data platform , This is the basis of the whole digitalization , At the same time, it is also the brain of digital decision-making . The risk of digital decision-making comes from whether the equipment can be interconnected 、 Whether the data can be interconnected 、 Whether the data caliber is consistent 、 Whether the data definition is standard 、 Whether data thinking is aligned with management .

03、 The risks of the digital vision

Digital vision is the goal of digital transformation , and DevOps similar ,DevOps Our vision is to improve energy efficiency and quality at the organizational level , It needs to be tailored to local conditions 、 Differ from man to man 、 In the light of its general trend . Again , Digital transformation is not a disruptive innovation in essence , But internal reconstruction based on digital empowerment , So it needs to be from top to bottom , Step by step , This is also in line with the scientific law of digital capability output .

Digital transformation requires multiple “ Ladder like ” The goal of , and “ Overall ” There can only be one strategy , Break down the goals according to scenarios and organizations , And then put it into the daily operation of each capability sub domain , Try and improve constantly , In order to finally achieve the goal .
