Turning the 2024 State of DevOps into your 2025 Playbook for DevOps Excellence

The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) report is an annual study that provides data-driven insights into what drives high performance in technology organizations. DORA originated as a team at Google, focused on increasing velocity, performance, and collaboration in DevOps. Drawing on feedback from over 39,000 professionals globally, the 2024 report categorizes the practices and metrics that define high-performing teams in two higher-level groups.

Survey: What's Slowing Progress Towards Engineering OKRs?

To ensure progress towards this ideal state, OKRs (objectives and key results) are often used to create tangible goalposts along the way. For engineering teams, these objectives often take two forms: But all of these programs involve moving from one state to another. As simple as that sounds, the act of doing so, successfully, has become incredibly challenging. Just understanding current state requires a ton of manual effort: Who owns what? What needs to change? Who’s going to do it?

Engineering teams are under constant pressure to deliver software that aligns with top line business goals: Unlocking Innovation, Reducing Costs, and Improving Customer Experiences. But how do organizations ensure their engineering practices actually move the needle? The answer lies in measuring both inputs (the practices teams adopt) and outputs (the results they achieve).
