Relying on manual processes while trying to implement DevOps would make the overall process time-taking, expensive, prone to human error and might create bottlenecks.5. Silos in the organization: Breaking down silos is one of the objectives of implementing DevOps. Teams work collaboratively with the approach of DevOps whereas in the silo approach, teams work independently of one another.There are instances where organizations try to impart the DevOps knowledge to different teams individually and try to adopt DevOps in smaller fragments across different teams. In such a case, DevOps, which aims at increased team communication and collaboration would not be fulfilling its objective. Continuous delivery and integration will not be carried out the same way as expected as these fragmented teams would focus on their individual team targets.Transition to DevOps would not be smooth if the organization does not focus on breaking down the silos and imparting the knowledge across the organization rather than individual teams.6. Micromanagement: Micromanagement is considered to have a negative impact on the overall team. It is believed that teams feel suppressed if their work is monitored closely on a daily basis.Organizations should give their teams a free passage to experiment and understand what works best for their requirements. Rather than compelling tool standards on the team members, organizations should allow them to test their own tools and processes.7. Cultural Shift: For an organization to adopt DevOps, the first step towards its implementation is a cultural shift followed by a process and an organizational shift. DevOps culture blurs the lines between Development, operations and QA team. It further requires teams to redefine their responsibilities on a continuous retrospective basis. This implies increasing transparency, communication and collaboration across the development and operations teams.Most of the organizations decide to adopt the approach but are not ready to make a shift in their culture to implement all the required changes with their teams, mindset and technology which might lead to a rough transition in the longer run.If your organization is planning to shift to DevOps, it is important to understand the fundamental principles of the approach and to understand that adopting DevOps takes time and effort and requires strong management and team support. Further, it is important for the organizations to pull up their socks and embrace the journey and avoid the mistakes made by other organizations while transitioning to DevOps. Daffodil Software is one such organization which adopted DevOps as a process for its clients and implemented the DevOps culture successfully.
