DASA DevOps Professional Enable and Scale

Introduction

DevOps has evolved from a set of technical practices into an organization-wide way of working that connects development, operations, service management, and business goals. Many organizations have adopted automation and continuous delivery, yet still struggle with fragmented teams, unclear ownership, slow feedback, competing priorities, and cultures that discourage experimentation. Sustainable DevOps therefore requires more than tools: it requires effective teams, enabling leadership, customer-centric decision-making, courage, and a systematic approach to continuous improvement.
