OBM is a valuable instrument for realizing and sustaining behavioral change in DevOps environments. DevOps is most of all a mindset and culture driven organizational theme. Of course, technological possibilities, such as continuous integration and deployment, automated testing, micro-services, containers and cloud provisioning, are extremely important. Even processes evolve towards Lean and Agile to improve collaboration and transparency. But the transformation to a new way of working, mindset and new behaviors remains key. By shifting attention towards the required behavioral change, the DevOps transformation leads to more viable and sustainable results. The new mindset and behaviors are the basis for continual improvement and improved agility. DevOps is just the next step in the evolution of organizations. It can never be the end goal.
