You have been asked to investigate how the company can do that. The chief information officer would like you to produce a report that helps them to progress this change towards a greater emphasis on DevOps.To successfully complete this assignment, you should first identify and read resources that give you more understanding of DevOps. You should then identify resources that discuss the integration of DevOpsandagile development (e.g. IT industry web sources, journal and conference papers). Then create a report based on what you have found out. The report will be used internally at FinQuest, so should be written in a style that will be accessible to IT professionals.
