Business Capability and Framework to enhance BizDevOps-based projects
Abstract
BizDevOps is a SW development approach that extends DevOps with a business cycle that incorporates non-IT stakeholders. This cycle focuses on IT/Business alignment to better respond to business needs, but, so far, it does not consider the challenge of agility. This doctoral work proposes two contributions to help organizations to: i) adopt BizDevOps, and ii) do so while ensuring agile IT/Business alignment. For the first, it is proposed to define a business capability that specifies everything the organization needs to be able to develop SW applying the approach. For the second, a framework is proposed that includes artifacts and enterprise architecture practices
Keywords:
BizDevOps, Business Capability, Business/IT Alignment
