In this blog, we will discuss the similarities and differences between the Agile and DevOps. The basic similarity between Agile and DevOps is, they both are the software development methodologies.
We all are aware of the agile methodology but DevOps is a newcomer in this game.

Meanwhile, DevOps methodology aims at the consistent delivery and work on a different context. It also helps in keeping the team together to manage the operation and the development of the software easily.
Skills & Areas
For the agile methodology, the development team must have specific skills that aim at the T-shaped skillset. And in these skills, the team must have in-depth knowledge of the area. On the other hand, the DevOps methodology required skills that are counted for the development and operation team. When it comes to the area, the agile methodology targets the development area of the software, whereas the DevOps methodology is all about fast delivery for end-to-end businesses.
Feedback
When it comes to Agile methodology, the customers give their valuable feedback, and as per the feedbacks testing team, make changes and fix bugs from the app. On the other hand, the DevOps methodology works on internal feedbacks.
