Overview
DevOps, by design, works quickly and accomplishes deadline-driven projects rapidly. With this high amount of project turnover, visibility into key operational data is easy to mismanage and can lead to simple mistakes, lack of optimization, and organizational misalignment. To examine the effect of DevOps Visibility, SmartDraw commissioned the 2019 DevOps Visibility Report. The results were decisive: each company surveyed is seeking ways to better DevOps visibility, and 84% of respondents list it as somewhat to extremely important to their organization. But achieving DevOps visibility is not always simple.
Roadblocks to Achieving DevOps Visibility
Respondents identified that visibility reports take skilled workers away from their other priorities. In a small, fast-moving, lean team, removing a skilled worker from a key deadline-driven task can cause performance and timeliness to suffer.
