Over the past five years, we’ve surveyed more than 25,000
technical professionals worldwide to better understand how
the technical practices, cultural norms, and lean management
practices we associate with DevOps aect IT performance and
organizational performance.
Last year we looked at several dimensions of DevOps,
including lean management practices; application architecture;
the role of IT managers in a DevOps transformation; diversity;
deployment pain; and burnout. In short, we confirmed that
there’s a lot more to IT performance than technical practices.
In order to create sustained high performance, organizations
need to invest just as much in their people and processes as
they do in their technology.
We wanted this year’s survey to address some of the most
pressing issues for the DevOps community today. These
include concerns about understanding the ROI of DevOps;
the role of experimentation and its value; how to integrate
security into DevOps; and the relationship between employee
engagement and organizational success.
