Agile and DevOps Transformation in Large-Scale R&D Centers: A Case Study on CI/CD Efficiency Gains
Keywords:
Agile transformation, DevOps adoption, CI/CD automation, software release efficiencyAbstract
Large scale research and development (R&D) centres increasing complexity in software development led to the adaptation of Agile methodologies and DevOps practises. These practises help in enhancing efficiency, security compliance, and developer productivity. This study explains the transformation of software development workflow through Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) automation. Especially in Agile driven environment implementation of tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Ansible, and Docker are used.
