Can Large Orgs Be High Performers?
Yes.
But orgs with 10,000+
employees 40% less likely
to be high performing vs.
500 employee orgs…
@RealGeneKimSource: Puppet Labs 2014 State Of DevOps
Do Large Orgs Adopt CI/CD?
Yes!
(Automated testing,
Continuous integration,
proactive monitoring…)
The only practice not being
adopted is Peer Review vs.
Change Approval!
