CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES OF ADOPTING DEVOPS IN THE PMI CONTEXT

Abstract

Adopting DevOps within the Project Management Institute (PMI) framework presents both significant challenges and substantial opportunities. We examine the cultural, technical, and system-centric DevOps adoption (and implementation) challenges organizations face when trying to integrate PMI realms of organizational/operational context in this paper. These challenges are centered around the culture change to enable better collaboration, fitting in missing pieces surrounding automation and continuous integration skills, and incorporating different tools together seamlessly under one system featuring a mix of agile DevOps methodologies with traditional PMI processes while not alienating security amidst repeat deployments.

And despite all the challenges, DevOps adoption contains transformative capabilities. These will help organizations to work better from all directions in some of these ways:

As organizations tackle these challenges and exploit the opportunities, they will be much more successful at delivering all projects to a higher standard. Using Present academic underpinnings and contemporary enterprise DevOps transformation case studies, the current analysis aims to provide a complete view of the commonly understood landscape in terms of adopting DevOps within PMI. Offering pragmatic guidance for those who need to integrate DevOps practices with PMI Project Management, the guide is designed to increase project success and improve innovation around project management.
