We use continual improvement in ITIL but continuous integration in DevOps.
Both are different.
According to dictionary, continuous means without disruption
To ensure speedy delivery of software, integration & delivery needs to happen without any disruption hence it is used as Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery in DevOps.
According to dictionary, continual means a sequence of events happening periodically.
So there could be stabilization periods in between events where we verify the impact or worthiness of improvement events. Without a stabilization period after improvements, SLA and business continuity may be impacted if improvement goes wrong.
