According to PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6, the five primary values that guide successful DevOps adoption are summarized in theCALMSframework:Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, and Sharing.
Culturefocuses on breaking down silos, encouraging trust, and promoting collaboration between development, operations, security, QA, and business teams.
Automationis essential for speeding up delivery, reducing manual errors, and ensuring repeatability across the software delivery lifecycle.
Leanemphasizes the elimination of waste, limiting work in progress (WIP), and improving flow.
Measurementmeans using metrics and data to inform decisions, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement.
Sharingfosters transparency, knowledge transfer, and a unified approach to goals and problem-solving.
Option A replaces automation and lean principles with softer collaboration aspects, which are important but not recognized as the formal value set. Option C replaces “Measurement” with “Metrics,” which is only a part of measurement. Option D substitutes “Accountability” for “Automation,” which is not part of the CALMS model.
Therefore, the official correct set of values per the DevOps Foundation syllabus isB.
