Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book answers the question of how to boost the agility delivered from Agile and yet retain governed and effective control of our data. This makes it an essential read for those who want to extract maximum benefit from Agile and DevOps, or is worried about how to remain compliant within an Agile development environment. The background to the book, is that organisations increasingly feel the need to deliver systems with more agility and clearer demonstrable benefit than ever before. In response, Agile dovetailed with DevOps, has become prevalent by promising a development agility that will underpin innovations in their Products, Services and Operational processes. However, not all stakeholders are quite as enthusiastic about this; the idea of insulating the development teams, so that they can just ‘get on with it’ and deliver features to ‘delight their customers’, runs counter to their instincts. They share the ambitions of Agile DevOps, but fear that it can become an uncontrolled ‘developer charter’ resulting in development that undermines co-ordinated and governed delivery. They worry that ultimately, this could cause fragmentation of the Enterprise vision, and possibly a breakdown of system interoperability. This view suggests that Agile DevOps and governance as the management arm of Enterprise Data Architecture, are intrinsically at loggerheads, and that there will always be a trade-off; more control stifling agility, or more agility loosening control. But there is another way. This book takes the reader step by step through an approach to integrating Agile DevOps with Data Governance retaining control of its data, and yet delivering enhanced development agility.
