How Roles Work Together
DevOps Center integrates source control with continuous delivery through a pipeline workflow. Admins set up DevOps Center and create projects. Developers make changes in development environments and commit them to source control. Team members (developers or designated team members) review and approve changes through pull requests. Deployment managers promote approved changes through pipeline stages to production.
