If you can rename "statistics" to "machine learning" and "data analyst" to "data scientist" [1], I don't see why you can't rename "IT Ops" to "Dev Ops".

Q: What's the difference between a data analyst and a data scientist?
A: The data scientist lives in San Francisco
- CapmCrackaWaka 7y agoThe distinguishing factor between those two roles that I have noticed is data scientists build predictive models and use statistics somehow, while analysts are relegated to the 'grunt' work like cleaning data, building reports, etc. Analysts are typically working to become data scientists. I only have 5 years of work experience at 2 companies, so I'm sure results vary. I make sure not to make any assumptions when I hear either title, however, I've met incompetent 'data scientists' and brilliant 'analysts'.
