Introduce Agile and DevOps to Library Practices

Introduce Agile and DevOps to Library Practices

The Agile and DevOps are terms emerging for the software development and delivery processes in the software industry. But the elements of Agile and DevOps and principles have been adopted for operational development in various organizations. Agile methods promote incremental changes and emphasize the collaboration, communications, teamwork, efficiency to meet customer satisfaction. Libraries started using Agile methods for project management, web site redesign processes etc. Similarly, the DevOps was springing from applying Agile and Lean approaches, with emphasis on a clipped compound of ‘development’ and ‘operations’. In the context of that library operations evolve and demand more collaborative ways to getting work done, the methods of Agile and DevOps are transferable to libraries projects. This presentation will examine how the concepts, principles and techniques of Agile and DevOps can be adopted for library practices. A case study of applying some elements in management of the library services platform will be shared. Hope it will also foster discussions on how we may do more with DevOps even in the non-technology areas such as organizational development.
