Is DevOps Enough in a SaaS World?
The devops approach was meant to give us agile development AND more manageable applications – reducing cost of operations and making apps more reliable. Being close to ops helps, but it is not the full story.

The Sprint approach that grew up within Google is good as a starting point, but a more continuous relationship needs to grow out of it.
