Own the entire process within the team, from receiving requirements to monitoring the production. As once said: A program running on the developer's machine makes no money.
This is why it's important to have a small DevOps team that takes complete ownership of a product. Actually, that is the true meaning of DevOps: Development and Operations, from the beginning to the end:
- Own every stage of the Continuous Delivery pipeline: how to build the software, what the requirements are in acceptance tests, and how to release the product.
- Avoid having a pipeline expert! Every member of the team should be involved in creating the pipeline.
- Find a good way to share the current pipeline state (and the production monitoring) among team members. The most effective solution is big screens in the team space...
