Omdia released the IT Operations Survey: 2022, and here are some of the findings related to DevOps, reported by Roy Illsley, Chief Analyst at Omdia:

Large organizations report being the most mature, with 30% of respondents stating they are already fully deployed.

10% of the upper mid-sized organizations (5,000-9,999) report either no plans or 2025 or later to be fully deployed.

Education reported 71% of respondents put top and second most important barrier was complexity of implementation.

Media and entertainment reported 71% of respondents put miss-trust in developers as the top and second most important barrier to DevOps.

52% of CIOs reported lack of skills as top and second most important barrier. This was in-line with other line of business C-suite that also put it top of their list with 42%.
