Hide-What is... Development Operations ?
The advantages of Development Teams and Operations Teams collaborating to improve the delivery of technology solutions has meant a rapid adoption of DevOps approaches to the Software Development Lifecycle. Closely associated with Lean and Agile concepts in enhancing the delivery of technology solutions, the DevOps approach has impacted very rapidly on the Technology industry.
Most existing DevOps ‘specialists’ grow or develop into their role with no formal standards or certification, and a modicum of training in the actual practice of cross functional DevOps practices. They may already be experienced, highly skilled, competent and high performers in their own field of Software Development, Computing, IT Management, or Quality Assurance but they can lack the knowledge and understanding of the other cross functional disciplines they now find themselves working with daily.
Schedule
There are two phases to the award – which may be taken separately or combined. Completion of the three semesters leads to the award of a Level 9 Postgraduate Diploma in DevOps (60 credits). Participants may go on to complete the fourth semester (a research project) which leads to the further award of a Masters of Science in DevOps Level 9 degree (extra 30 credits).
The award structure will place greater emphasis on continuous assessment, practical and project work rather than on formal examinations. The aim is that participants will gain a deep understanding of the topics and content covered, and be able to demonstrate this acquired knowledge a proven competence in tests and exercises drawn from practical “real life” DevOps scenarios.
