In this chapter, you learned what DevOps is (and what it is not) and its relation to Agile. Moving to a DevOps culture helps you to break down conflicting targets for developers on one side and operators on the other side. This to empower them to work together on continuously delivering value to your end users, organizing their work in a single backlog and working off a single board, while respecting the differences in their ways of working. Organizing developers and operators in product-oriented teams is the next important step in creating like-minded, goal-oriented teams.

Moving to DevOps can bring many benefits and you now know how these can be measured to continuously keep improving. Next, you learned about the DevOps habits and practices that many successful DevOps team exhibit. Mastering these yourself and with your team will enable you to go through your own DevOps evaluation. All this is with the aim to continuously deliver value to your users.

The next chapter will discuss the topic of source control and how to organize your application sources to enable DevOps flows.
