DevOpspraksisser

DevOpspraksisser is a Nordic term used to describe the practical set of DevOps practices, cultural norms, and tooling adopted by software teams. While not a formal standard, the concept is used in industry discussions to refer to how DevOps ideas are implemented in real organizations, particularly in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish contexts.

At its core, DevOpspraksisser aims to shorten delivery cycles, improve deployment reliability, and create faster feedback loops between development, operations, and other stakeholders. It emphasizes collaboration across teams, automation of repetitive work, and measurable outcomes. The approach seeks to align people, processes, and technology to support rapid, reliable software delivery.

Common practices include continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code, automated testing, and release management, together with automated deployment pipelines. Observability, monitoring, and incident response with blameless postmortems are also central, as are strategies such as blue-green or canary releases to reduce risk. Security considerations are increasingly integrated, giving rise to DevSecOps as part of the broader DevOpspraksisser landscape.

Organizations vary in maturity. Some teams establish basic automation and standardized workflows, while others adopt broader lean and site reliability engineering principles, value-stream mapping, and more comprehensive security integrations. The emphasis is on creating end-to-end flow from idea to production with continuous improvement.

Challenges include tool sprawl, cultural resistance, and governance complexity. Success tends to depend on executive support, clear ownership, consistent metrics, and ongoing learning and adaptation. See also DevOps, SRE, and continuous delivery.
