Abstract

As technology evolves, businesses must adapt to changing market demands by adopting digital transformation. To tackle these challenges successfully, businesses must adopt effective software development practices like DevOps and create a culture supporting digital transformation. This paper explores how DevOps practices and culture can facilitate digital transformation within organizations. We have interviewed 10 professionals to understand these organizational changes through digital transformation issues. Our findings suggest that (1) Cost Considerations, (2) Skill Gaps and Training, (3) Resistance to Change, (4) Risks in Rapid Deployment, (5) Collaboration Challenges, (6) Compliance and Security,(7) Scalability Issues, (8) Cost Optimization Strategies are vital factors that companies face when a company goes through digital transformation phases. By understanding and addressing these influencing factors for digital transformation for DevOps practices, organizations, and DevOps professionals can navigate digital transformation successfully, drive innovation, and compete effectively in today’s dynamic business landscape.
