The DevOps Standard Gives Teams a Shared Model for Software Delivery
DevOps.com, Friday, October 2nd, 2026
PeopleCert's new DevOps Institute book, The DevOps Standard, offers a vendor-neutral definition and operating model.
The lead contributor to 'The DevOps Standard,' a DevOps Institute book published by PeopleCert on October 1, 2026, explains its purpose on DevOps.com.
The book defines DevOps as a socio-technical system integrating people, process and technology for efficient, safe and reliable software delivery, and provides a vendor-neutral operating model to examine delivery across organizational boundaries, including AI-assisted work.
Using a retail inventory example, the author shows how teams can identify which capability needs attention and what evidence would demonstrate improvement beyond passing pipeline checks.
