DevOps is a deeply technical subject of which those in business roles typically have little understanding. As such, I can’t launch into a post on the business value of DevOps without first providing some context and an explanation as to what it is. I’m sure you’ve heard the refrain:

It is clear that Marc Andressen’s “software is eating the world” quote from 2011 has come to pass. The big problem however, is the quality of much of that software.
Poor quality software = brand and reputation damage
High-quality software is sadly now the exception rather than the rule…
