I really like DevOps. So last year I read Accelerate and The DevOps Handbook and The Phoenix Project and then Team Topologies and I realised that for a DevOps engineer, I knew nothing about DevOps. And that lots of people in the industry also struggled to define it. I was told NOT to use a maturity model but to use structured equation modeling. I asked engineers I knew if they'd ever used SEM or capability targeting. No one had even heard of it. So I made a customisable maturity model that attempts to improve key DORA metrics and incorporates gap analysis for business improvement. It was much, much harder than I imagined. But I'm pretty happy with the outcome. It won't do everything and you have to put the leg work in but it might just help. #devops #dora https://mikerossiter.tech/posts/devops-maturity-model/
