How it Works: Transforming Your Development Process
The ServiceLaunch team delivers a DevOps strategy assessment with a detailed roadmap of short and long-term actions to accelerate your DevOps workflow. Here’s how we do it:
Understanding Your Needs: The engagement begins with a discovery phase to understand your current operations, challenges, and objectives. This helps us tailor our approach to align with your specific business goals.
Evaluating Your Current State: Next our team reviews your existing infrastructure, processes, and tools. We begin with an initial assessment, a critical step where we engage directly with your development team members through interviews. This process is not just about ticking boxes; it’s about gaining a comprehensive understanding of your specific environment, challenges, and goals. We dive deep into the core aspects of your DevOps practices, evaluating them across 8 critical categories:
- Agile – How well your team adopts Agile planning and processes, conducts sprint reviews, gathers feedback, collaborates, and balances workload.
- Version Control – Integration with source control, branching strategies, code review practices, management of technical debt, and handling of code dependencies.
- CI/CD – Your build environments, testing and validation processes, and how you deploy application code.
- Infrastructure – Approach to creating repeatable infrastructure and processes for continuous deployment and testing.
- Continuous Security – Application design, security management, adherence to regulatory and compliance standards, application security, identity authentication, and security code reviews.
- Configuration Management – How you manage configurations and secrets, as well as your use of managed services.
- Continuous Monitoring – Application build and operations monitoring practices and how you maintain visibility into your operations.
- Culture – The roles and responsibilities within your team, your adoption of Agile processes, the autonomy you provide, how you foster a DevOps culture, and your emphasis on collaboration and improvement.
Crafting a Customized Plan: After our initial assessment, we provide a score for each category, classifying your proficiency level as either critical, moderate, or proficient. This scoring system is designed to offer a clear snapshot of where your practices stand in relation to industry standards, highlighting areas of strength and identifying opportunities for improvement. Based on our analysis, we develop a DevOps roadmap. This plan outlines key initiatives, tools, and process changes that will enable your DevOps strategy.
Bringing the Plan to Life: Our experts support your team in adopting recommendations, which may include setting up CI/CD pipelines, migrating to microservices, or introducing containers and orchestration tools.
Empowering Your Team: Getting your team is up to speed is crucial. Once we’ve delivered the assessment, we’ll work with your teams to achieve a successful knowledge transfer. Equipping your team to meet your expected outcomes in the long-term.
Ongoing Optimization: DevOps is an iterative process. The journey doesn’t end with implementation. We conduct a follow-up assessment to measure the impact of the implemented changes, providing you with a new score that reflects your improved proficiency levels. This reassessment is crucial for demonstrating how far your DevOps practices have come and for identifying any further areas for refinement. ServiceLaunch offers continuous support and periodic assessments to ensure your DevOps practices evolve with your business and remain effective.
