The difference between DevOps and Agile

Viktor Farcic: Let's talk more about the evolution from Agile to DevOps. What exactly did you mean by that?

Julian Simpson: I came to the Agile movement reasonably late in its development. I wasn't around to see some of the earlier Agile projects, but my understanding is that we solved some of the problems of how we know what to build and how we should go about planning and delivering the build in an iterative fashion. Once you've solved that problem, there are engineering challenges, such as integration. There's no excuse for having a huge merge phase at the end of your project now because continuous integration has been a thing since at least the late 1990s.

"DevOps is the response to solving problems that you have when you're successful in the earlier stages of your project's evolution."

—Julian Simpson
