KMS Technology recently released a survey that found companies need a clear road map with a good understanding of financial and labour costs regarding DevOps in order to be successful.

Regarding participants happy with their DevOps transitions, 51% of IT professionals reported having a “very positive” impression of DevOps after the move.

The plurality of transitions cost between US$100, 000 and US$500,000, according to the survey.

According to jaxenter, DevOps commonly tends to slow the transition, because of little finance support from executives.

Another 40% of respondents said their budget was projected to rise as much as a quarter for DevOps related expenses like software development, testing, and services.

KMS also found that 85% of DevOps transitions take up to one year to be completed.

The survey was conducted by over 200 IT professionals who had participated in DevOps over the past year.
