Masterclass Continuous Assessment – EN

2. The content

In the Continuous Assessment Masterclass you will learn to identify areas for improvement in your software development process in a simple and structured manner. The business case and the architectural principles and models of the assessment models are discussed, followed by the definition of the questionnaires.

CE model

The first model is the CE model, which is based on Continuous Everything in which all relevant DevOps terms can be found. The aspect areas of Continuous Everything (CE) to be investigated include:

• Continuous Outcome (CO)
• Continuous Architecture (CH)
• Continuous Planning (CP)
• Continuous SLA (CQ)
• Continuous Design (CN)
• Continuous Testing (CT)
• Continuous Integration (CI)
• Continuous AI (CZ)
• Continuous Deployment (CD)
• Continuous Monitoring (CM)
• Continuous Learning (CL)
• Continuous Acceptance (CC)
• Continuous Auditing (CA)
• Continuous Assessment (CS)
• Continuous Security (CY)

The second model is the Cube model. This model also offers a solid basis of assessment questions. In contrast to the CE model, the questions here are not closed but open.

After the Masterclass you will know how a DevOps organization, team or DevOps engineer can measure DevOps knowledge and skills. Following the DevOps Assessment masterclass, you have the option to take an exam.

3. Your profile

You are directly or indirectly involved in the following processes:

Training program:

Your DevOps engineers would like to further professionalize themselves. To this end we need a personal approach. Depending on your needs, you can use one or both assessment models. The measurement can be carried out at a personal level, team level or organizational level. A training program can be put together based on the improvement points for an individual, team or organization.

Development process improvement trajectory:

You have already introduced DevOps and your colleagues have already obtained a number of certificates. However, there are aspects of the system development process that have not been properly developed, which means that productivity is not optimal. Using the Cube assessment model and/or the CE assessment model, you can determine which aspects of DevOps have not yet been developed and you can make a selection of the best practices that lead to an improvement of the development process.

Tender:

You are working with another party and want to know to what level the competencies have been developed. You have agreed on a DevOps maturity standard in your SLA. Now you want to know whether the maturity standard has been achieved and which aspects are not yet in order. You can determine this based on the CE assessment.

It is important that you have at least basic knowledge of DevOps. There are many concepts in the assessments.
