6. 01 The industry continues to improve, particularly among the elite performers.
7. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 DevOps has “crossed the chasm” 2018 2019 48% High performers 7% Elite 37% Medium performers 15% Low performers 20% Elite 23% High performers 44% Medium performers 12% Low performers
8. 02 Delivering software quickly, reliably, and safely is at the heart of technology transformation and organizational performance.
9. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Speed and stability are both possible 208 Times more Frequent code deployments 106 Times faster Lead time from commit to deploy 2,604 Times faster Time to recover from incidents 7 Times lower Change failure rate (changes are 1/7 as likely to fail)
10. 03 The best strategies for scaling DevOps in organizations focus on structural solutions that build community.
11. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Elite teams favor strategies that create community structures Communities of practice Grassroots Proof of Concept (POC) as a template POC as seed
12. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 What works? What doesn’t? Bottom-up or grassroots Training centers Centers of excellence Communities of practice A big bang approach
13. 04 Cloud continues to be a differentiator for elite performers and drives high performance.
14. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 On-demand self-service Broad network access Resource pooling Rapid elasticity Measured service
15. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Only 29% of respondents met all 5 characteristics of cloud computing On-demand self-service Broad network access Resource pooling Rapid elasticity Measured service
16. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Elite performers are 24x more likely to have met all cloud characteristics
17. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Clear wins from cloud Fast autoscaling Cost visibility Security
18. 05 Productivity can drive improvements in work/life balance and reductions in burnout, and organizations can make smart investments to support it.
19. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Easy-to-use tools make CI/CD effortless & accessible Useful Integrated Easy-to-use
20. 06 There’s a right way to handle the change approval process, and it leads to improvements in speed and stability and reductions in burnout.
21. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 Heavyweight process & control make enterprises low performers…
22. @davidstanke 2019-09-19 So, how do you apply the research?
