Forrester’s 7 DevOps Habits 1.  Getting the two sides to talk to each other 2.  Taking an outside-in approach to everything 3.  Automating the build, test and release processes so

they contain less human error 4.  Simplifying and standardizing the development and

production environments 5.  Instilling a culture of systems engineering across both

development and operations 6.  Implementing feedback and feed-forward loops 7.  Putting developers on the front line of support
