The 2020 State of DevOps Report is here!

We’re in our ninth year of publishing the State of DevOps Report. During a decade that has redefined people’s expectations for software — speed of delivery, quality and security — our ongoing study of more than 35,000 technical professionals around the world continues to provide new insights into how organizations are evolving their DevOps practices.

Our Best Survey Yet!

This year’s survey includes over 2,400 participants around the world who work in IT, development, information security and related areas. The 2020 State of DevOps Report focuses on two areas that can help organizations scale their DevOps initiative: a platform approach to software delivery and applying DevOps principles to change management.

High DevOps evolution correlates strongly with self-service capabilities.

Highly evolved organizations are 6 times more likely than the least evolved organizations to report high usage of self-service platforms.

A product mindset is key to scaling DevOps and your internal platforms.

Highly evolved organizations are twice as likely to be very product-oriented compared to mid-level organizations.
