Abstract

BizDevOps extends DevOps with an additional business cycle that incorporates non-IT stakeholders. This additional cycle focuses on IT/Business alignment to better respond to the needs of organizations, but, so far, does not consider the challenge of agility. This can lead to a bottleneck in the software lifecycle, causing agility to be lost in the overall software lifecycle, even though the development and operations cycles, typical of DevOps, are agile. This position paper sets out a discussion of the problem and its relevance, the associated difficulties and possible approaches to a solution proposal. The difficulties identified correspond to four dimensions: stakeholders, processes, information, and resources. Among the most promising proposals to address the problem is Enterprise Architecture, but including agile practices, as included in the recent version 10 of the industry standard TOGAF.
