DevOps is not simply a team, methodology, or standard. The PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6
materials define DevOps as a “cultural and professional movement” that stresses communication,
collaboration, integration, and automation to improve workflow between software developers and IT
operations professionals. The cultural transformation is fundamental, emphasizing shared
responsibilities, breaking down silos, and fostering continuous improvement.

Project".
