NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Adopt
We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.
Improving the interactions and relationship between development and IT operations gives us more effective delivery and production systems that are more stable and maintainable. Creating a DevOps culture requires attention to team organization, work practices, reporting lines, and incentives - leading to joint responsibility for faster and safer delivery. We recommend adopting DevOps because we cannot see any situation where attention in this area will not have a positive benefit.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
The DevOps movement continues to gain traction as people pay more attention to the often-broken relationship between development and operations. DevOps promotes closer collaboration and joint responsibility between development and operations. DevOps applies agile practices to operations processes such as provisioning, change management and production monitoring and also brings productionlike thinking, tools and environments to development. DevOps is a key underpinning for organizations wanting to achieve continuous delivery of application releases into production.

Worth exploring with the goal of understanding how it will affect your enterprise.
DevOps is a new movement seeking to achieve the business need for rapid delivery of software products while maintaining the stability of live environments. It uses two approaches: first, promoting closer collaboration between development and operations; second, applying practices shared with agile (collaboration, automation, simplicity, etc) to operations processes such as provisioning, change management, and production monitoring. It encompasses culture, processes, and tools - all supporting better communication, faster feedback and delivery, and more predictable outcomes.
