DevOps Institute announced the SKIL Framework for advancing the human elements of DevOps.

The Framework consists of

4) Learning based on DevOps know-how

The pillars of SKIL represents a holistic framework of knowledge, continuous learning and certification to advance professional careers, support IT transformations and meet the needs of the DevOps community.

"We believe that DevOps success, for individuals, organizations and the industry at large, is based on human skills as much as it is technology," explained Jayne Groll, CEO at DevOps Institute."The SKIL Framework represents our holistic ecosystem of knowledge and learning that will continue to grow as we develop and curate the industry's best thinking and make it readily available to the DevOps community. The thirst for DevOps skills and knowledge is incredibly strong."

DevOps Institute, together with practitioners, industry leaders and partners, has built a thriving community where members have access to the most innovative, inspirational and transformational DevOps content and certifications. Focused on both foundational and emerging DevOps practices and principles, it provides content and learning to advance professional careers, and inspire discussion, collaboration and transformation for the human elements of the DevOps success equation.
