90% AI Adoption. Still Failing. DORA Explains Why.

Apr 27, 2026

AI adoption is nearly universal. So why are most teams still struggling?
In this session from GitKon, Nathen Harvey, head of DORA at Google Cloud, shares findings from the 2025 DORA State of AI-Assisted Software Development report, drawing on data from nearly 5,000 developers worldwide. The answer isn't more AI. It's what surrounds it.

DORA's research identified 7 key AI capabilities that, when combined with AI adoption, actually drive meaningful improvements in team performance, software delivery, and product quality. Without these foundations, AI creates isolated pockets of productivity that collapse into downstream chaos.

Version control is one of DORA's 7 key AI capabilities, and it's not an accident. As AI increases the velocity and volume of code changes, your ability to rollback, revert, and manage branching safely becomes the difference between instability and high performance. GitKraken gives your team the visual clarity and confidence to do exactly that.
