Competencies

What are competencies?

Competencies describe specific configurations of culture, process, and technology required to achieve a desired delivery capability. These are represented as a DevOps cycle, where new capability is developed (blue), and where its operational health is maintained (purple).

The “infinite loop” diagram describes the differing skills required to support a work item as it passes through the delivery lifecycle.

Successful delivery of work items relies on a range of capabilities at different points in the delivery cycle. This cycle does not align to Agile ceremony, which describes delivery team cadence, as work items may be at different stages of delivery and involve different competencies during an Agile iteration.
