The report was named <em>Accelerate State of DevOps Report<\/em>\u00a0and was conducted by the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) group, which was acquired by Google in December 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation was sponsored by the software company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.red-gate.com\/\">Redgate.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Main findings<\/h4>\n<p>Key findings from <em>Accelerate<\/em>\u00a0highlight the continuous improvements that the DevOps industry is making. \u00a0One of which is that 20% of all teams looked at in the report are classified as \u201celite\u201d performers, up from 7% last year. It was also found that the highest performers are twice as likely to meet work goals, including profitability, productivity and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past six years the\u00a0<em>Accelerate State of DevOps Report\u00a0<\/em>has become the benchmark for good practice in DevOps,<em>\u00a0<\/em>demonstrating the business benefits adoption delivers,\u201d says Kendra Little, DevOps Advocate, Redgate Software. \u201cIn 2018 it highlighted the importance of the database to DevOps success, and in 2019 has invaluable advice on the impact of good culture, the cloud, creating communities and change approvals on improved organizational performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Improvements to be made<\/h4>\n<p>The <em>Accelerate<\/em> report also researched what companies needed to do in order to improve. It found the main benefit to companies would be to change approval practices. This is because searching for approval for changes from a higher level resulted in a negative software delivery performance. It was also revealed, however, that approving processes are not associated with lower change failure rates.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devopsonline.co.uk\/developers-are-having-a-higher-impact-than-ever\/\">findings<\/a> of the\u00a0<em>Accelerate<\/em>\u00a0report also imply the need for a change in the role of data professionals. To make improvements to the stability of production systems and to increase the performance of the software delivery process, specialists need to move away from the role as \u2018gatekeepers\u2019 in the production environment, the report encourages.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s further suggested that to deal with these<a href=\"https:\/\/www.devopsonline.co.uk\/issues-with-cloudflare-causes-global-website-outage\/\"> issues,<\/a> those in specialist roles should transform into consultants and advisors, who can inspire development teams early in the software development lifecycle and create communities at all levels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest research in IT practices has revealed that DevOps is continuing to have high-performance levels and big impacts on technology transformation.
