Taking into account the pace at which innovation happens and technologies evolve in today’s world, software development is no less than an F1 race. Precision is critical, but speed can’t be forfeited either.

A lot more goes into the F1 racing strategy than meets the eye. There is no denying the skill of the drivers who battle it out on the tracks, but it takes an entire team to plan and execute a winning strategy. From designing the vehicle and its aerodynamics to deciding how much fuel to start with, or in which lap to refuel or change tires, and everything in between is critical to ensuring success. Similarly, success of the DevOps approach to software development and delivery rests on the premise of collaboration between stakeholders to accelerate the release of new software, while ensuring quality and optimizing costs. Delays can translate into lost business opportunities and jeopardize your competitive advantage. The key is to focus on continuous integration, continuous testing, and continuous delivery to ensure quality, reliability and speed.
