As businesses transitioned from a product-oriented development model towards a customer-centric approach, smaller release cycles, better quality, and seamless collaboration across DevOps teams became the need of the hour. DevOps rightly serves this purpose. DevOps is an innovative methodology that offers a set of practices that brings development and operations teams together to collaborate seamlessly and continuously deliver quality products faster and better. 

Different teams are assigned different tasks in a traditional waterfall software development environment. Developers are focused on introducing features according to project requirements using existing software, while the operations teams are concerned about the stability of the infrastructure. As such, change is something that developers want and operations worry about. The product quality is also the sole responsibility of the Quality team.
