State of DevOps Report 2022

About the report

The State of DevOps Report for 2022, based on our client landscape, provides insights into the current status-quo of DevOps adoption, and about what drives organizations to excel in software delivery.

Almost 50% of organizations can be classified as high or even elite performers, a significant 30% increase as compared to last year’s results. Most (60%) organizations struggle to achieve a high deployment frequency, which costs them valuable time, flexibility and overall agility. It seems that our industry still has a lot of potential for improvement – especially in areas beyond applying technical practices. We asked many leading domain experts and peers to share their experiences with us, which helped us gain some interesting insights.

The focus areas of this year's evaluation:

• Culture & work environment

• Technical practices (development, deployment)

• Testing practices

• Team interaction & collaboration
  
  

These are some of our key-findings:

• Deliberate improvement over myopic measures. 

  Almost half of the respondents can be classified as high or elite performers, which poses the question – what is driving their performance and what is holding others back?

• Remote collaboration is everywhere – so what?

  Everyone is doing it, but doing it right is not trivial. How is remote collaboration impacting organizations?

• Ways to overcome cloud adoption challenges.

  While Cloud adoption has become a ubiquitous differentiator driving high performance, this trend poses significant challenges. This means that now, more than ever, organizations need to ensure spending is strategic and that full potential is unlocked.

• Feedback, the foundation for continuous improvement.

  In order to become a high performer, fast feedback cycles are imperative. To achieve this, it is vitally important to ensure that both the organizational as well as technical principles are in place.
