DevOps: What is it in your organization?  DevOps originally started as a term that was more aligned with culture and attitude rather than a job description or role. Regardless of where the term originated, many now use the term as a specific job function. What are you seeing and using in your current organizations? Is DevOps a role?  Do you post job descriptions and hire "DevOps engineers," or do you look for developers who can deploy and maintain their solutions? Do you have separate DevOps teams?

It might be more of a practice or activity. But, I am just learning and not sold on the concept.

For example, in service desk when a new capability is sent over for us to ‘test’ we told this is DevOps. But there is not test script or shared ‘expectations.’

Interesting, are you saying that people submit work to the service desk and are using the term "DevOps" to some how indicate the service desk should just pick up the work?
