How do you scale DevOps?

-
I have been racking my brain on how to scale DevOps across a company or enterprise.  If you have any thoughts please let me know.

Some options

  • Force everyone to read Phoenix Project
  • Target DoJo model
  • Internal DevOps days
  • Embed DevOps coaches in every team
  • Create documentation and point everyone to it
  • Have your CTO make them do learn it
  • Do team by team DevOps maturity assessments
  • Use security or compliance requirements to force teams to automate delivery
  • Make one team really awesome and let others come asking for the awesomeness.

Manage IT by Johanna Rothman

I just completed this book. I think it is a really good book which covers a whole lot of software development. This book could possibly be the best book for first time project managers. I believe many of the PMs understand PMM but do not understand software development. This book gives a view of each project role. The only one that it does not cover is Business Analyst or requirements documentation. It does cover QC, development and of course PMs. It gives a PM a view into development processes like TDD, CI and estimation. Many PMs that are new to SD can read this book and get a great start to manager an SD project. If you are a PM or know some, read this book. http://www.jrothman.com/

How AI is Transforming DevSecOps: A New Era of Secure, Agile Software Delivery

-
 As software delivery accelerates and attack surfaces grow, traditional DevSecOps practices are being pushed to their limits. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into DevSecOps workflows is not just a trend—it’s a strategic imperative. AI is driving a seismic shift in how we manage code quality, automate security, respond to threats, and enable secure innovation at scale. In this post, we’ll explore the key ways AI is improving DevSecOps and why forward-thinking organizations are embedding it deeply into their pipelines. 1. Proactive Threat Detection and Response In modern CI/CD pipelines, code moves fast—sometimes too fast for human eyes to catch every vulnerability or misconfiguration. AI helps shift security left and right by: Analyzing code and dependencies with natural language processing and ML to detect hidden vulnerabilities, insecure APIs, or anomalous changes during commits. Real-time anomaly detection in production environments using AI-powered o...

Cloud Ops: The New IT for the Cloud Era

-
Over the past few months of interviewing and researching dozens of companies—particularly small to mid-sized SaaS businesses—one pattern keeps emerging: the desire to stand up a Cloud Operations (Cloud Ops) organization. It makes sense on the surface. Cloud is now the infrastructure of choice, so naturally, someone needs to “own” it. But what’s unfolding in practice often misses the mark. Many companies are attempting to solve growing cloud complexity by taking all their DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering talent and consolidating them into a Cloud Ops team. The idea? Share them across product teams so no one gets overwhelmed. If that sounds familiar, it should. It’s the same centralization tactic used by traditional IT for decades. And it's creating the same problems. When Cloud Ops Becomes Old IT in Disguise Here’s the playbook we’re seeing: Move DevOps, SRE, and Ops into a central Cloud Ops team. Let them handle infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud securit...
