Understanding your organisation’s current DevOps maturity is the first step towards developing your own DevOps culture and Digital Transformation
DevOps - the convergence of development and operations – has been a fundamental part of world-class digital organisations for several years now. Future-minded organisations are now exploring how these well-established practices can be implemented more widely across the organisation, opening the door to a more agile, dynamic approach to developing the
business utilising technology that encourages initiative and innovation at every level.
With a rapidly changing technology landscape, evolving consumer expectations, and large-scale marketplace shifts, including born in the cloud disrupters, the drive for effective digital transformation across organisations at all levels has never been higher. Organisations’ business, infrastructure, processes, and company culture must be fully aligned to bring solutions to the market as fast as possible, without compromising value for money, security, or compliance.
In light of these challenges, it is no surprise that 9/10 high-performing organisations have ingrained DevOps within their culture, eliminating the siloing of teams, processes, and technology that frequently affected time-to-market. However, while this may seem ostensibly simple, there are several factors that must be considered carefully if DevOps practices are to be successfully established at all levels, which has meant many organisations find themselves stuck around the lower to mid-level of maturity*.
Put simply, technology alone is not enough to establish an authentic DevOps culture within an organisation. While embracing the Cloud and automating processes are positive steps in this journey, it must be accompanied by cultural change, which requires a proven, effective methodology.
The purpose of this maturity assessment is to analyse the challenges involved in establishing a robust approach to adopting DevOps within your own organisation.
It will help you identify the particular challenges facing your own business sector, and introduce the tools and processes Exponential-e has developed for assessing your organisation’s DevOps maturity level. Taking proactive measures in response to this will allow you to join those high-performing organisations who have made DevOps a critical part of their ongoing success and evolution. By putting these principles and processes into practice, you will be well-placed to take the next step along your own DevOps journey.
