CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment/Delivery. It automates the process of building, testing, and deploying code changes.

Do I need separate tools for each part of the development workflow?

Not necessarily. Many platforms offer integrated solutions, though some teams prefer best-of-breed tools for specific needs.

How do I improve development team productivity?

Focus on automating repetitive tasks, reducing context switching, improving code review processes, and providing good documentation.
