Abstract
In the rapidly evolving field of software development, companies are increasingly using the DevOps paradigm to improve speed and quality. However, managing DevOps processes comes with significant challenges. Although the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) provides industry-independent best practices, there is a gap in understanding the feasibility of achieving its success factors in DevOps projects. The purpose of the study is to identify key success factors in IT DevOps project management that are considered important but are not always realized in practice. A questionnaire survey was conducted using fuzzy set theory and fuzzy hierarchy analysis method to solve multi-criteria decision making problems. The analysis resulted in a ranked list of actions, with two groups: actions that are neglected and actions that are given more attention than required. These results indicate inconsistencies between recognized success factors and actual management practices. Addressing these mismatches is critical to improving DevOps project management efficiency, optimizing resource allocation, and improving project success rates. These findings provide a basis for developing strategies that better integrate PMBOK principles into DevOps processes.
