Summary

As with any business change project, to successfully implement CD and DevOps, you need to ensure you know what you are setting out to do (your goal), understand how you're going to reach it (your vision), understand who's help you will need, clarify how you will communicate and evangelize, be realistic about how much it will cost, and most important of all, be realistic about how much work, courage, energy, and determination it will take. As mentioned previously, this is no picnic but it will be worth it.

Hopefully, you're all fired up and ready to go but before we do this let's take a look at something that may not be so obvious now but is yet another essential part of the CD and DevOps jigsaw: culture, and behaviors.
