DevOps includes both
1. New project management principles : agile and lean
2. old-school principles : ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) , ITSM (IT Service Management), and SDLC
Let's see three building blocks of DevOps.
1. DevOps should be extensions of Agile
Iterative and incremental process
Agile Manifesto
1.1 Individual and interactions > processes and tools
1.2 working s/w > comprehensive documentation
1.3 customer collaboration > contract negotiona
1.4 Responding to change > following plan
12 principles
1.1 highest priority is satisfy customer with early + continuous valuable s/w delivery
1.2 welcome requirement change
1.3 frequent delivery of working s/w
1.4 business people and developer works together daily
1.5 motivated individual
1.6 face to face conversation
1.7 working s/w is primary measure of progress
1.8 constant pace and sustainable development
1.9 technical excellence and good design
1.10 simplicity
1.11 self organising team
1.12 retrospection
Methodologies
Scrum
Kanabn
DSDM : Dynamic System Development Method
FDD : Feature Driven Development
ASD
eXtreme Programming
Lean
Crystal
Rational Unified Process
Widely used are scrum, Kanban and lean.
1.1 scrum
from rugby game
meaning: tight player formation that is trying to move the ball towards goal
Scrum Life Cycle : Product backlog -> Sprint Backlog -> Sprint -> Valuable product
Sprint = timebox of a month or less
1.2 kanban
5 principles
1.2.1 Visualize workflow
1.2.2 Limit WIP
1.2.3 Manage the flow
1.2.4 Make process policies explicit
1.2.5 Improve collaboratively
SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) to reduce complexity for large scale implementation.
2. Lean :
Lean inspired by SPC, Kizen, DoE, JIT, ToC, quality tools
Value Stream Mapping
From Supplier to Customer : What Information and Materials are flowing
Seven principles
2.1 Eliminating waste
waste = The effort spend on anything other than creating value
* Muda : Absorbs resources but no value. 7 wastes
Type 1: Technical waste for compliance
Type 2: Plain waste
* Mura : unevenness , No regular flow of work. Overburden
* Muri : overburden process, person or system. unevenness
2.1.1 Partially done work
2.1.2 Extra Features
2.1.3 Re-Learning
2.1.4 Handoffs
2.1.5 Delays
2.1.6 Task Switching
2.1.7 Defects
2.2 Amplify Learning
2.3 Decide as late as possible
2.4 Deliver as fast as possible
2.5 Empower the team
2.6 Build an integrity
2.7 See the whole
Plan Do Check Act of Kaizen
is
Build Measure Learn Repeat in Lean
Four Principles
2.1. Pull scheduling
2.2. Kanban
2.3. Visual Management
2.4. Employee empowerment
For software industry
2.1 Limiting WIP
2.2 Kanban Visibility to flow
2.3 Customer f/b
2.4 Empowered team
Upcoming : Lean UX
3. Six principles of Kaizen
3.1. Good process brings good results
3.2. Gemba
3.3. Speak with data
3.4. Take action to correct root cause
* Five Whys
* Focus on causes not symptoms
* Fish Bone : Equipment, Process, People, Materials, Environment, Management
* Do not accept (1) No time (2) human error . People does not fail. Process fails.
3.5. Team work
3.6. Kaizen is for everyone
4. ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), ITSM (IT Service Management) and SDLC

PyCharm is an IDE for Python development. Here are few key take away points:
$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
This will create a requirements.txt file, which contains a simple list of all the packages in the current environment, and their respective versions. Later, when a different developer (or you, if you need to re- create the environment) can install the same packages, with the same versions by running
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
================================================================================
Code Completion
1. Basic : Ctrl + Space
2. Smart : Ctrl + Shift + Space
3. Within context : Atl + / Atl + Shift + /
4. Post Fix completion : Space OR Enter OR Tab
Ctrl + Shift + Enter to make all auto corrections
================================================================================
Pipenv is a tool that provides all necessary means to create a virtual environment for your Python project. It automatically manages project packages through the Pipfile file as you install or uninstall packages.
================================================================================
Two settings
1. Project level settings are applied to current project and stored at :
C:\Users\\PycharmProjects\schoop_app\.idea
2. Global settings are like template, it applies to new projects. Files-> Settings for new projects
================================================================================
Keyboard short cut
Double Shift : search
Ctrl+N
Ctrl+Shift+N
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N : Find and jump to the desired class, file, or symbol.
Ctrl+E : View Recent Files-
================================================================================

Yantra (यन्त्र) (Sanskrit) (literally "machine, contraption" is a mystical diagram, mainly from the Tantric traditions of the Indian religions.
They are used for the worship of deities in temples or at home; as an aid in meditation; used for the benefits given by their supposed occult powers based on Hindu astrology and tantric texts. They are also used for adornment of temple floors, due mainly to their aesthetic and symmetric qualities. Specific yantras are traditionally associated with specific deities.
They are used for the worship of deities in temples or at home; as an aid in meditation; used for the benefits given by their supposed occult powers based on Hindu astrology and tantric texts. They are also used for adornment of temple floors, due mainly to their aesthetic and symmetric qualities. Specific yantras are traditionally associated with specific deities.
Yantras are usually associated with a particular deity and are used for specific benefits, such as: for meditation; protection from harmful influences; development of particular powers; attraction of wealth or success, etc.They are often used in daily ritual worship at home or in temples, and sometimes worn as a talisman.
As an aid to meditation, yantras represent the deity that is the object of meditation. These yantras emanate from the central point, the bindu. The yantra typically has several geometric shapes radiating concentrically from the center, including triangles, circles, hexagons, octagons, and symbolic lotus petals. The outside often includes a square representing the four cardinal directions, with doors to each of them
Yantras can be on a flat surface or three dimensional. Yantras can be drawn or painted on paper, engraved on metal, or any flat surface. They tend to be smaller in size than the similar mandala, and traditionally use less color than mandalas.
Occult yantras are used as good luck charms, to ward off evil, as preventative medicine, in exorcism, etc., by using their magical power. When used as a talisman, the yantra is seen to represent a deity who can be called on at will by the user. They are traditionally consecrated and energized by a priest, including the use of mantras which are closely associated to the specific deity and yantra. Practitioners believe that a yantra that is not energized with mantra is lifeless
A yantra comprises geometric shapes, images, and written mantra. Triangles and hexagrams are common, as are circles and lotuses of 4 to 1,000 petals.
