The goal of DevOps is a CD model that is repeatable, reliable, stable, resilient, and secure. These properties improve operational efficiency. To achieve this goal, teams must collaborate and get involved in the development and delivery process. All technical team members should have experience with the processes and tools involved in the development pipeline. A mature DevOps process provides benefits, as shown in the following diagram:

These benefits of DevOps are detailed further here:

• Speed: Releasing product features at a quick pace helps to accommodate changing business needs of your customers and expand your market. A DevOps model helps an organization to achieve results faster. 
• Rapid delivery: DevOps processes facilitate more efficiency by automating end-to-end pipelines, from code build to code deploy and production launch. Rapid delivery helps you to innovate faster. Faster release of bug fixes and features helps you to gain a competitive edge. 
• Reliability: DevOps processes provide all checks to ensure delivery quality and safe application updates at a rapid pace. DevOps practices such as CI and CD embed automation testing and security checks for a positive end-user experience.
• Scale: DevOps helps to scale your infrastructure and application on an on-demand basis by including automation everywhere. 
• Improved collaboration: The DevOps model builds a culture of ownership whereby the team takes account of their actions. The operations and dev teams work together in a shared responsibility model. Collaboration simplifies the process and increases efficiency.
• Security: In an agile environment, making frequent changes requires stringent security checks. The DevOps model automates security and compliance best practices, monitors them, and takes corrective action in an automated way.

DevOps removes barriers between the developer and operations teams that used to work in silos. The DevOps model optimizes the productivity of the development team and the reliability of system operations. As teams closely collaborate, this helps to increase efficiencies and improve quality. Teams take full ownership of the services they deliver, often beyond the traditional scope of their roles, and develop thinking from a customer point of view to solve any issue.
