The Ongoing Challenge of DevOps Transformation
Many organizations continue to struggle with their DevOps transformations, with roughly 80% of companies still classified as mid-transformation according to recent reports. Despite discussions about DevOps beginning over a decade ago, enterprises have faced numerous hurdles in fully implementing these changes at an organizational level.
