DevOps practices and cultural norms positively impact IT and organizational performance. Our annual State of DevOps Report demonstrates how DevOp improves operational efficiency, creates space for innovation and increases employee engagement.
In fact, high-performing organizations deploy 200 times more frequently than low performers, have 2,555 times faster lead times, and recover 24 times faster from failed changes, with three times lower change fail rates. They also spend 22 percent less time on unplanned work and rework than lower-performing organizations, and thus are able to spend 29 percent more time on new work.

-
Improvements in instrumentation and monitoring, so you can find problems before customers encounter them, and improve recovery time.
-
Deployment of software in smaller, more frequent batches, to reduce risk of failure and get new features out to market faster.
-
Managing configuration with code, so changes can be rolled out quickly and accurately, with less manual work.
