Every company is built and organized differently.&nbsp;As such,&nbsp;integrating&nbsp;two separate departments isn\u2019t easy. For some companies it may even do more harm than good. The DevOps assessment is made to make sure that while a company is switching over to a DevOps style, that they are keeping in line with DevOps practices. This is to make sure that the company doesn\u2019t go off the rails while transitioning. The DevOps assessment is just a bunch of questions meant to be answered by different departments of a company. And based on the answers, the company can see if it\u2019s going through the transition properly, where it needs to go next, and if necessary,&nbsp;what&nbsp;it needs to fix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know what a DevOps assessment is for, let\u2019s go over what it\u2019ll ask of you&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devon.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/assess-banner-diagram.png\" alt=\"What is the Overall Process to Start DevOps Assessment?\" width=\"602\" height=\"400\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Questions<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many DevOps assessments, but the one I will be going over is the Microsoft DevOps assessment.
