Industrial DevOps: Build Better Systems Faster
Industrial DevOps: Build Better Systems Faster explores how Agile and DevOps practices can be applied to cyber-physical systems that combine software, hardware, and firmware. While Agile approaches are widely accepted in digital environments, applying similar methods to industrial and physical products can appear challenging because of their complexity and the perceived risks of change.
This book presents a different perspective: as the pace of technological change increases, organizations may face greater risks by remaining with traditional development approaches. By adopting proven Agile and DevOps ways of working, teams developing cyber-physical systems can create opportunities for greater adaptability, faster delivery, improved quality, lower development costs, and increased visibility across the product delivery process.
Agile & DevOps for Cyber-Physical Systems
Learn how Agile and DevOps approaches can be adapted for environments where software, hardware, and firmware must work together. The book focuses on creating development processes that are more responsive to change while maintaining the requirements of complex physical products.
Faster Delivery & Greater Adaptability
Applying modern ways of working can help organizations shorten delivery schedules and respond more effectively to changing requirements. The approach described in the book emphasizes adaptability as an important capability for industrial organizations operating in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Connecting Development & Manufacturing
A central focus is the connection between Agile and DevOps in development and Lean and Agile practices in manufacturing. By bringing these approaches together, organizations can create stronger connections between product development and production processes.
Nine Key Principles
The book presents nine key principles that form the foundation of its approach to Industrial DevOps. These principles provide success patterns for applying Agile, DevOps, Lean, and related ways of working to the development of cyber-physical systems.
