Agile vs DevOps: What's the difference?

Widely distributed in the early 2000s, Agile transformed software development but overlooked operations teams. This led to the creation of DevOps, which aligns development and operations. 

 

What is Agile?

Agile is a software development methodology that emphasizes iterative development, collaboration, flexibility, and customer feedback. It breaks projects into small, manageable increments (called sprints) and relies on continuous feedback to improve the final product.

 

Focus:

Software development process

Scope:

Managing projects & workflows

Principle:

Iterative development & feedback

Speed:

Rapid iterations (Sprints)

Target user group:

Developers, testers, and business teams

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a culture, practice, and set of tools aimed to enhance collaboration between development and IT operations through automation and CI/CD, ensuring quicker and more reliable software releases. DevOps bridges the gap between development and operations teams to enhance efficiency, reliability, and security.

 

Focus:

Development + IT operations

Scope:

Automating software delivery

Principle:

CI/CD, automation, and monitoring

Speed:

Continuous delivery & deployment

Target user group:

Developers + IT operations + security teams

 

But if we make Agile and DevOps work together?

Since Agile and DevOps focus on different aspects of the software lifecycle, combining them creates a seamless workflow from development to production. Agile methodologies ensure flexible and iterative development, while DevOps enables automation, continuous delivery, and system reliability. Atlassian tools are essential in closing this gap by offering an integrated platform for project management, source code collaboration, CI/CD automation, and incident response.

check-circle Agile Development with Jira

Atlassian Jira is a powerful tool for managing Agile projects using Scrum and Kanban boards. Teams break down work into user stories, epics, and sprints, ensuring an iterative and incremental approach to software development. With built-in roadmaps and reporting features, Jira keeps teams aligned on project goals while providing visibility into progress and potential bottlenecks.

check-circle Source Code Management with Bitbucket

Bitbucket enables seamless collaboration among developers. It supports pull requests, branching strategies, and code reviews, allowing teams to manage their source code efficiently. Bitbucket’s tight integration with Jira ensures that code commits are linked to user stories, improving traceability and alignment between development and project goals.

check-circle Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) with Bitbucket Pipelines or Bamboo

To streamline software delivery, teams use Bitbucket Pipelines (cloud-based) or Bamboo (self-hosted) to automate builds, testing, and deployments. CI/CD ensures that every change in code is validated through automated tests before being deployed, reducing manual errors and improving software quality.

check-circle Monitoring & Incident Management with Opsgenie & Jira Service Management

Beyond development and deployment, monitoring and incident response are critical for maintaining application stability. Opsgenie provides real-time alerts for system failures or security incidents, ensuring that DevOps teams can respond quickly. Meanwhile, Jira Service Management (JSM) connects DevOps and ITSM teams, allowing for faster resolution of incidents and service requests.

Additionally, Confluence serves as a knowledge base for analyzing results, documentation, and operational runbooks, improving overall learning and process refinement.
