EXPANDING DEVOPS BEYOND DEV AND OPS
The principles, processes and tools that are core to the existing DevOps movement will expand beyond traditional development and operations teams. Non-technical teams are often in silos too, so can also get value from the benefits DevOps provides to software teams, including a high-trust open culture, creating and validating hypotheses, measurement, shortened feedback loops and enhanced collaboration; all of these lead to high velocity organizations regardless of type. Approaches and tools like pull-requests and ChatOps are no longer just for technical teams anymore – any modern organization can reap benefits from DevOps approaches.

Enterprises will increasingly realize that digital transformation and DevOps are two ways of looking at the same cultural shift – or perhaps they will recognize that these trends must connect to each other. Regardless of the perspective, my prediction is that DevOps will have much more added to dev and ops, as we’re already seeing SecDevOps. In 2016, add digital/marketing/product/mobile to the mix as well.

Gartner predicts 25% of the global 2000 will be using DevOps patterns in 2016. Not only do we think that percentage will be higher, but we predict DevOps will significantly broaden its applicability in the mainstream. Areas like compliance and security that have been traditionally left out will become inherent to the DevOps workflow. DevOps patterns will be applied well outside of just IT, which itself will continue to ascend to being the primary business engine in the digital economy.
