Let’s set the stage for two major characters:
ITIL: Wears a suit, obsessed with processes, loves structure and planning.
DevOps: Hoodie lover, thinks fast, breathes automation and agility.
Both want to make IT work smoothly and efficiently…
But their approaches are different!

| Scenario | Best Fit |
|---|---|
| Service desk processes, SLA management | ITIL |
| Continuous integration & software delivery | DevOps |
| Audits, compliance, risk control | ITIL |
| Automation, fast delivery, agility | DevOps |
Summary:
ITIL is perfect for running things in an orderly fashion
DevOps is ideal for building and deploying fast
9:00 AM – Server crash
ITIL: Incident ticket created, resolution time tracked
DevOps: Automated log analysis runs, rollback script launched
2:00 PM – New feature request
ITIL: Starts approval process
DevOps: CI/CD pipeline triggered with new branch
6:00 PM – Performance review
ITIL: SLA/KPI reports prepared
DevOps: Charts show deployment speed and error rates
The most effective IT teams combine ITIL and DevOps.
ITIL defines the rules and governance
DevOps speeds them up and automates execution
🔧 Example:
ITIL defines the change management process
DevOps integrates it into code and automates testing and deployment
| Role | Recommendation |
