What organizational anti-pattern does DevOps help to address?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

According to the SAFe DevOps Practitioner 6.0 study guide1, one of the organizational anti-patterns that DevOps helps to address is teams that are isolated and working within functional areas (e.g., business, operations, and technology). This anti-pattern creates silos, conflicts, and inefficiencies that hinder the collaboration and integration needed for continuous delivery. For example, some teams may prioritize speed over quality, while others may prioritize security over innovation. Some teams may resist change and adopt outdated practices, while others may embrace new technologies and methodologies. These differences can lead to misalignment, duplication, and waste of resources that slow down the delivery pipeline and reduce the value to customers. Therefore, DevOps helps to break down the functional silos and enable cross-functional teams that work together to deliver value to customers faster and more reliably.

I think B is more relevant, too much planning slows things down.

I recall that DevOps aims to improve decision-making across functions, so option D could also be a contender. It’s tricky to remember all the details!

I feel like I’ve seen questions about communication barriers before, which might relate to option C. But I’m not confident if that’s the main focus of DevOps.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about centralized planning being a problem too. Maybe option B is relevant?

I think DevOps really targets the issue of teams being isolated in their functional areas, like option A. It’s all about breaking down those silos, right?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about the specific organizational anti-pattern that DevOps is meant to address? Or is it just asking about any organizational anti-pattern that DevOps can help with? I'll have to think about it some more.

Okay, I think I've got this. DevOps is all about bridging the gap between development and operations, so it's addressing the anti-pattern of teams being isolated and working in their own functional areas. I'm pretty confident A is the right answer here.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know DevOps is supposed to help with collaboration, but I'm not sure if that's the exact "anti-pattern" it's addressing. Maybe I should re-read the question and think it through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. DevOps is all about breaking down silos and getting different teams to work together, so I'd go with option A.
