In the digital transformation DevOps—— Digital visualization

In the digital transformation DevOps—— Left shift capability

In the digital transformation DevOps—— Digital operations

In the process of digital transformation , Need to clarify a point of view , Comprehensive digital operation is the coupling relationship between digital scene and enterprise business scene , Therefore, the digital transformation needs to connect the enterprise digital scene through the digital way , Including product delivery 、 Product operation and internal collaboration . In the process ,DevOps adopt “ Value delivery ” Provide a digital platform on the side of science and Technology , Data foreshadowing that constitutes a digital tool , Provide digital means of digital office and digital marketing through digital connection , In addition to digital technology , people 、 Process and culture constitute the way of cooperation in the process of digital transformation , Here it is , I will adapt to all stages of cooperation called flexible cooperation .

Whether in business operation or IT Running , The importance of cooperation is self-evident , stay DevOps field , Cooperation is DevOps The essence of culture , At the same time, it is also the key factor of agile development and test left shift , In the process of digital transformation , The scope of cooperation has become borderless , In addition to digital visualization and function shift left , Cooperation extends digitally , Ahead of embracing change and supporting decision-making , It is later placed in the integration feedback stage of cross functional departments . The flexibility of cooperation depends on the method of cooperation , The fundamental core lies in the efficiency improvement in the process of production activities and the positive feedback of results .

DevOps Flexible cooperation in culture

Compared with the digital platform ,DevOps The way of cooperation is DevOps Based on culture , Horizontal communication and cooperation between departments , Vertically integrated personnel 、 Process and Technology , Finally realize the continuous improvement of the organization .

DevOps To give “ Value delivery ” and “ Digital operations ” The concept of cultural thinking , stay IT The side extends the digital value , Close loop market changes and market feedback in the form of product delivery , Finally, enterprises will meet the market demand 、 Product needs 、 Product marketing and market feedback reduce costs and increase efficiency in a series of business stages , Finally achieve the desired goal . In this way of cooperation , The scale of elasticity is related to the way business changes ,DevOps As the best way to accelerate modern business transformation , In the process of digital transformation , Better promote enterprises to accept and realize business ideas as soon as possible .

meanwhile , In personnel 、 Process and Technology ,DevOps Through more scientific cooperation , Continuously and quickly release new value to customers , So that the products can better adapt to the changing market , Deliver the digital face of the enterprise to customers . Personnel 、 When processes and technologies have the same business objectives , The digital transformation process has become orderly and robust . meanwhile ,DevOps In a data-driven way , around “ Human property ” Conduct IT Side technology operation , Implement end-to-end resources 、 Delivery of products and value , Coordinate resources and recheck costs , Realization IT Flexible cooperation in task priority and resource scheduling .

DevOps Its role in digital transformation helps IT Organizations understand patterns and practices that may improve performance in the face of digital disruption , improve IT The competitive situation of the organization , And increase the participation of enterprise production activities , From traditional classification 、 Command and control the enterprise , Shift to a digital organization .

Cooperation in digital operation

The cooperation of digital operation often comes from the goal of digital transformation , No more than two points , Business online and data driven , and DevOps Different cultures , Digital collaboration is technology driven .

Business online is a key milestone in digital transformation , No matter the type of enterprise 、 Digital scene 、 The goal of transformation , Always anchor business value and business operation , Finally landing on business online , stay IT Side , Usually, the “ continuity of business ” As an evaluation index . For enterprises , Offline to online transformation , Availability guarantee of core system ; about IT Organization , Faster and better product delivery , More stable and high-quality product maintenance , Are all online businesses .

Data drives the transformation of internal and external management and operation mode of enterprises , There are usually two ways , One is gradually evolving from process driven to data driven , While ensuring process compliance , The feedback ability of data makes the implementation process and decision-making stage more scientific . There is also a way to mine better business logic and organization management patterns in the way of data collaboration , It is more obvious in the field of marketing digitalization and office digitalization , Through the performance of data, we can keenly find the changes of user Relations , At the same time, in the form of labels , Build more scientific 、 Compliant and agile workflow and Standards .

Business online and data-driven rely more on flexible cooperation , According to different transformation stages , The depth and breadth of participation of different ability sub domains are also inconsistent , Therefore, the scope of cooperation needs to be flexibly selected based on the scope of data and the depth of indicators , It is conducive to digital operation without distortion , This way of flexible cooperation is also known as systematic digital system thinking .

Flexible cooperation

The way of flexible cooperation needs to follow the principles of priority and goal , Start with enterprise level digital mainline , Gradually extend to the business side 、IT Each capability sub domain of the side and backstage support side , Based on the core system , Cross organizational digital definition of multi domain data , There are typical definitions of digital products 、 Digital process definition 、 Definition of digital consistency caliber and digital index .

In terms of enterprise digital mainline , Core data assets need to connect upstream and downstream data sources , Realize data interconnection , Common organizational data 、 Resource cost data 、 Business operations data . The core part of enterprise digital mainline is to use the relevance and aggregation of primary key data in core data assets , Establish a digital collaboration platform , In the form of digital field , Gradually cover each capability sub domain , Form digital visibility 、 Digital description ability 、 Digital diagnostic capability 、 Digital prediction ability and digital decision-making ability . Finally, in an elastic way , Improve data relevance and traceability in the digital mainline , So as to enhance the depth of digital cooperation .

In digital mapping , Focus on the digital definition of multi capability subdomains , The more typical is “ Value delivery ” In the process , Visual process management of Kanban and swimlane , In the process of post business evaluation , Data feedback of cost recheck , Digital mapping usually requires digital models for language conversion , In the business assurance domain , Feedback of user experience and business traffic data , Conduct activity types in a measured way 、 The intensity of the activity 、 Activity input 、 Definition of indicators of activity revenue , Finally, the indicators mapped to product optimization and business operation .

Digital deployment is a relatively new term , The author thinks , Digital deployment is DevOps Ability extension of continuous deployment in the process , More digital thinking 、 Digital tools 、 Digital operations are associated with digital scenarios and data users . On the business side , Give users a better digital experience , stay IT Side , Give data a more scientific display and more reasonable life cycle management , On the management side , Give managers higher value decision-making ability , Digital deployment in a broader range of services , Provide services for enterprises and customers .
