ABSTRACT A top priority of organisations around the globe is to achieve IT-business alignment at all levels of the organisation. This paper addresses operational alignment within IT functions. Traditionally, IT functions are divided into highly independent subunits. In the face of pressure to adapt to rapidly changing customer demands and to manage increasingly complex IT architectures, many organisations have begun implementing joint, cross-functional DevOps teams, which integrate tasks, knowledge and skills pertaining to planning, building, and running software product activities. In this study, we examine eight cases of DevOps implementation. We apply grounded theory to identify three mechanisms comprising a tripartite model of intra-IT alignment: individual componentization, integrated responsibility, and multidisciplinary knowledge. Our model provides insights into how alignment between development and operations can be achieved in DevOps teams within the IT function.

了解 DevOps 如何协调开发和运营：IT 内部协调的三方模型

摘要 全球组织的首要任务是在组织的各个级别实现 IT 与业务的一致性。本文介绍了 IT 职能内的运营一致性。传统上，IT 功能被划分为高度独立的子单元。面对适应快速变化的客户需求和管理日益复杂的 IT 架构的压力，许多组织已经开始实施联合的、跨职能的 DevOps 团队，将与规划、构建和运行软件产品相关的任务、知识和技能集成在一起活动。在本研究中，我们检查了 DevOps 实施的八个案例。我们应用扎根理论来确定构成 IT 内部对齐三方模型的三种机制：个体组件化、综合责任和多学科知识。
