The Accelerate State of DevOps Report represents six years of research and data from over 31,000 professionals worldwide. It is the largest and longest running research of its kind, providing an independent view into the practices and capabilities that drive high performance. The results let us understand the practices that lead to excellence in technology delivery and powerful business outcomes.

Our research employs rigorous statistical methods to present data-driven insights about the most effective and efficient ways to develop and deliver technology. Cluster analysis allows teams to benchmark against the industry, identifying themselves as low, medium, high, or elite performers at a glance.

For organizations seeking guidance on how to improve, we point to the only real path forward: Start with foundations, and then adopt a continuous improvement mindset by identifying your unique constraint (or set of constraints). Once those constraints no longer hold you back, repeat the process. We also provide guidance on the most effective strategies for enacting these changes.
