"The deployment pipeline has its foundations in the process of continuous integration and is in essence the principle of continuous integration taken to its logical conclusion. The aim of the deployment pipeline is threefold. First, it makes every part of the process of building, deploying, testing, and releasing software visible to everybody involved, aiding collaboration. Second, it improves feedback so that problems are identified, and so resolved, as early in the process as possible. Finally, it enables teams to deploy and release any version of their software to any environment at will through a fully automated process." (David Farley & Jez Humble, "Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation", 2010)
"In essence, Continuous Integration is about reducing risk by providing faster feedback. First and foremost, it is designed to help identify and fix integration and regression issues faster, resulting in smoother, quicker delivery, and fewer bugs. By providing better visibility for both technical and non-technical team members on the state of the project, Continuous Integration can open and facilitate communication channels between team members and encourage collaborative problem solving and process improvement. And, by automating the deployment process, Continuous Integration helps you get your software into the hands of the testers and the end users faster, more reliably, and with less effort." (John F Smart, "Jenkins: The Definitive Guide", 2011)
"DevOps is about team play and a collaborative problem-solving approach. If a service goes down, everyone must know what procedures to follow to diagnose the problem and get the system up and running again. Additionally, all of the roles and skills necessary to perform these tasks must be available and able to work together well. Training and effective collaboration are critical here."

"Essential to improving collaboration is the alignment of incentives across teams as well as the application of shared processes and tools. The main attributes of aligned incentives include a shared definition of quality for the whole project or company and a commitment to it. Aligned with defined quality attributes, visibility and transparency can help to foster collaboration. Incentives must treat the development and operations groups as one team. That is, they should be rewarded for developing many changes that are stable and shipped." (Michael Hüttermann et al, "DevOps for Developers", 2013)
"The advantages of Agile processes, including Scrum and Kanban (a method for delivering software with an emphasis on just-in-time delivery), are often nullified because of the obstacles to collaboration, processes, and tools that are built up in front of operations." (Michael Hüttermann et al, "DevOps for Developers", 2013)
"A software architecture encompasses the significant decisions about the organization of the software system, the selection of structural elements and interfaces by which the system is composed, and determines their behavior through collaboration among these elements and their composition into progressively larger subsystems. Hence, the software architecture provides the skeleton of a system around which all other aspects of a system revolve." (Muhammad A Babar et al, "Agile Software Architecture Aligning Agile Processes and Software Architectures", 2014)
"A design pattern usually suggests a scheme for structuring the classes in a design solution and defines the required interactions among those classes. In other words, a design pattern describes some commonly recurring structure of communicating classes that can be used to solve some general design problems. Design pattern solutions are typically described in terms of classes, their instances, their roles and collaborations." (Rajib Mall, "Fundamentals of Software Engineering" 4th Ed., 2014)
"Language influences thought, tools influence action. Therefore, it matters a lot how we choose our tools. We shape our tooling and access landscape, and thereafter they shape the contours of our collaboration. When we choose a lot of different specialty tools, they in turn nudge us into different specialty groups." (Sriram Narayan, "Agile IT Organization Design: For Digital Transformation and Continuous Delivery", 2015)
"[…] when different types of specialists use common tools, techniques, and practices for similar activities, it creates a fertile common ground for cross-functional collaboration." (Sriram Narayan, "Agile IT Organization Design: For Digital Transformation and Continuous Delivery", 2015)
"Heart of Agile is a meme. Heart of Agile is four words stripped down to nothing. It contains only four words – collaborate, deliver, reflect, improve." (Alistair Cockburn, [interview] 2017)
"Programming is the immediate act of producing code. Software engineering is the set of policies, practices, and tools that are necessary to make that code useful for as long as it needs to be used and allowing collaboration across a team." (Titus Winters, "Software Engineering at Google: Lessons Learned from Programming Over Time", 2020)
