Process binds technology and people in cloud maturity success
Blog post from PagerDuty
The blog concludes a series on CloudOps maturity, highlighting the importance of evolving processes to support technological and cultural transformations as organizations progress from Beginner to Expert levels. It emphasizes that processes, including governance, communication, and training, are crucial for aligning people and roles, adopting new technologies, and implementing new operating models like DevOps and Agile. Legacy IT operations processes are inadequate for the complex, decentralized nature of hybrid cloud environments, necessitating new strategies for governance and service ownership. The blog stresses that process changes should be gradual and adaptable to overcome resistance and should involve strong top-down leadership to ensure alignment between IT and business objectives. It also notes that communication barriers and leadership engagement are significant challenges in achieving CloudOps maturity, which requires a holistic corporate shift and commitment from all stakeholders to realize business benefits and advance through maturity phases.
