Do the right people have access?
What are the environments/stages involved?
- What the flow between stages? Consider artifact/branch filter
- What is allowed in parallel? Both on the stage and when using multiple agents in a stage
- What is the triggers(s)?
Pipelines become very important the more you automate!
- It may become critical infrastructure
The application and infrastructure matters
- IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, Cloud, On-premise, Multi cloud, Azure Stack
Maintain, test and clean up pipelines
- Your infrastructure might change this can have an effect on your pipelines
- Easier if you use IaC and Pipelines as Code
Provide guidance on ”good” pipelines design in your environments so that projects/teams can easily adopt the practices relevant in your organization
