So your company has a DevOps team – great! – but are they elite performers or low performers?

There’s a chasm of difference between the two, according to the State of DevOps 2021 report from DORA, the DevOps Research and Assessment team at Google. It’s the tipping point in how resilient, efficient and reliable your team is, and that’s directly tied to your ability to help your business be more competitive. (To be transparent, GitLab was one of the many sponsors of the report, and we’ve incorporated some of the DORA metrics within our DevOps Platform so you can compare your highest and lowest-performing teams and see how much of the DevOps lifecycle each one is embracing.)

Bragging rights aside, a personal – and not insignificant – benefit of being on an elite DevOps team is that your company value, as well as your salary, would likely rise, as would your ability to be hired at a top-tier company.

So what does it mean to be an elite DevOps team and what does it take to get there? Let’s dive in:

The benefits of being an elite team
According to the DORA report there are specific things elite teams are able to consistently do. Here’s a look at some big goals:

Deploy more frequently
Elite performers deploy code 973 times more frequently than low performers, the survey notes. That’s right – 973 times more. Low performers say they require a change lead time greater than six months. In sharp contrast, elite teams only need an hour. We’ll do the math for you: Elite teams have a 6,570 times faster lead time from commit to deploy than low performers.
