Later, the term DevOps was coined for the better collaboration between developers and operations teams.

Progressing Continuous Delivery
Progressive delivery decouples code deployment and feature release. This is enabled through well-proven techniques to provide product owners, delivery, and system reliability engineering (SRE) teams with significantly more control and flexibility in their value streams. High-performing delivery teams are driven by curiosity and this means ongoing customer experimentation. But how do we achieve this at pace and without destabilizing our systems?

Dev(Ops) Experience Cloud-Native
The growing market share of cloud systems clearly shows that an increasing number of software systems are being operated in the cloud. As a prerequisite, more and more developments are cloud-native. The term Dev(Ops) Experience Cloud-Native refers to "development for the cloud" and "deployment in the cloud." Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether something is more Dev or more Ops, which is why we talk about the Dev(Ops) Experience.

Why Continuous Delivery Sometimes Fails
Continuous delivery and infrastructure as code are mainstream, right? At least, many claim to practice it. If you don't do it, you're out - or at least falling behind. So taken to its logical conclusion, we should see a huge improvement in delivery speed in our IT world - and not just for small businesses and projects.

We spoke with Agile coach Thomas Schissler about Kanban’s possibilities and its challenges.

Prerequisites for Continuous Deployment in enterprises
Companies often have an extensive application landscape. Nevertheless, there’s often a desire or need to regularly put new versions of the products into production, either to deliver new features or to close security gaps. This article presents prerequisites for continuous deployment using a roadmap. We will address the challenges of availability, security, and quality requirements. Special attention will be paid to the aspect of distributed responsibilities, independent of a successful establishment of DevOps culture.

Agile estimation and planning
In the previous article "Scrum - an introduction for developers", we briefly addressed the topics of product backlog and user stories. We explained that an assessment of requirements with regard to scope and complexity is also necessary for agile product development. This article will go into this in more detail. We will provide an overview of how to move from time estimates and a content framework for a rough roadmap, or release planning to a concrete estimate of requirements for planning the iteration. It will become clear that developers help to get the estimates underway, especially during the process of estimating as a basis for planning.
