Business Analysis and Systems Development Approaches

Background

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) in order to shorten the development life cycle and provide continuous delivery of software with high system quality.

You work in an information technology (IT) development role for a medium sized company called FinQuest that specialises in delivering financial services. FinQuest currently uses an agile system development approach and believes that this has allowed them to develop systems more rapidly without compromising quality. They are, however, aware that DevOps is becoming an increasingly popular approach to system development and believe that they should consider combining it with their current development approach.

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 DevOps and agile 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.

Format Guidelines

1. Your report should be clearly written in language suitable for IT professionals to understand.

2. Your report should be around 2000 words in length.

3. Your report should have the following structure to ensure that it presents the information in a logical and useful way:

• Title page. With a title that clearly reflects its contents.

• Table of contents. This must be generated using the Word Table of Contents feature.

• Introduction. This section should introduce the purpose of the report.

• Overview of DevOps. This section should provide some background information on DevOps for readers who are not very familiar with it

• Potential benefits. This section should discuss the potential benefits that FinQuest could achieve from integrating agile development process and DevOps.

• Potential problems. This section should discuss the potential problems that can occur when integrating agile development process and DevOps. This should provide a basis for the recommendations in the next section.

• Recommendations. This section should provide explicit guidance that will help your company to successfully integrate agile development process and DevOps.

• Bibliography. This should list all the resources you consulted in writing the report. These should be presented using APA referencing style. Your report should also include citations when you directly quote facts you have obtained from sources - but it is not intended to be an academic essay and should primarily be your ideas and recommendations.
