"You do not have to be Albert Einstein to handle your IT assignments 'On Time' (i.e. To Schedule), 'At Cost' (i.e. To Budget) and 'To Specifications' (i.e. To Scope)"

A DevOps culture is one created through lots of discussion and debate. Traditionally siloed technical teams interact through complex ticketing systems and ritualistic request procedures, which may require director-level intervention. A team taking a more DevOps approach talks about the product throughout its lifecycle, discussing requirements, features, schedules, resources, and whatever else might come up. The focus is on the product, not building fiefdoms and amassing political power. Production and build metrics are available to everyone and prominently displayed. The current infrastructure is documented, and maybe someone went to the trouble of having it printed on a plotter, which is totally cool.
