Abstract

This IDC Survey highlights the results from United States-based midsize to large organizations that have software development and delivery capabilities. This Survey examines their approach to software development and delivery, including priorities and challenges, and explores the adoption and usage of DevOps and DevSecOps, as well as peripheral techniques and technologies, including GitOps, observability, cloud-native development, and open source software.

"The results of this IDC Survey provide insight into how software development organizations are adopting and scaling DevOps, and the resulting benefits, like decreasing lead times and increasing value to the business. DevOps maturation in the enterprise is demonstrated in priorities shifting to value stream management, progressive delivery, and security, as well as drivers to scale maturing from the hallmarks of speed and agility to business and financial outcomes," said Katie Norton, senior research analyst of DevOps at IDC. "Equally as important, this Survey also uncovers real challenges, such as skill gaps, latent automation, and integration with legacy applications, and the emerging imperatives of cocreation with ecosystems partners and data sovereignty. This IDC Survey speaks to the impact DevOps has on organizations' capabilities to meet the demands of the digital-first economy."
