Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 1266))

Abstract

DevOps has emerged as an effective approach to the interaction between development and operations. This approach has been extended to the interaction with business functions, generating the term BizDevOps. Although many proposals and tools support BizDevOps from a technical viewpoint, there has been no significant progress in management aspects, such as the evaluation of practices and processes involved in the area. In this article, we propose a maturity model for BizDevOps, based on relevant international standards, and apply this model to a software company, which demonstrates its applicability.
