Core Principles Arya College of Engineering & I.T. says Agile emphasizes iterative development through sprints, daily stand-ups, and adaptive planning to deliver working software frequently, prioritizing customer feedback and flexibility over rigid specs. DevOps extends this by automating the integration of development and operations, using CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC), and monitoring for seamless deployment and reliability. Together, they break silos: Agile handles "how to build," while DevOps focuses on "how to run at scale." Key Practices Continuous Integration/Deployment (CI/CD): Agile teams commit code daily; DevOps automates builds, tests, and releases, reducing errors from man ual handoffs.
