OutSystems<\/a> found that 42% of IT professionals plan to deliver 10 or more apps by the end of the year, with a further 21% hoping to deliver more than 25.<\/p>\nHalf of those respondents admitted that it can take 5 months or more to deliver 1 web\u00a0or mobile application.<\/p>\n
Agile tools and services<\/h2>\n
Furthermore, the report found that only 32% of respondents app development backlogs have improved this year, although only 65% of respondents have a backlog.<\/p>\n
Despite the high demand for both agile and DevOps practices, both are slow to mature according to the report, with only 60% of organisations investing in agile and DevOps tools and services.<\/p>\n
DevOps maturity<\/h2>\n
Another critical industry concern was that, out of the 40% of organisations who said they invested in DevOps tools and services during the past year, their DevOps maturity was described as somewhere between \u201cjust starting\u201d and \u201cfundamental”.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur 2018 research makes it clear – IT departments are at a crisis point when it comes to digital transformation and application development,\u201d said Steve Rotter, CMO at OutSystems in a press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe high failure rate of digital transformation projects, increasing project backlogs, and the scarcity of developer talent are critical concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n
OutSystems survey was conducted by more than 3,500 IT professionals in all industries across the world.<\/p>\n
