Methodology – Empirical Product Analysis
1. Vendor evaluations were 100% empirically driven by a worldwide sample of 400 large
enterprises
2. Products evaluated must have at least a 1% product penetration
3. Products evaluated were identified as the primary product in use by the enterprise
4. Four criteria factored into product evaluations
Enterprise value
Product capabilities (7 components)
Product satisfaction
Product penetration
5. A product’s raw score for each criteria is the average of valid responses except for
product penetration which is a summation
6. A product’s raw score for each criteria is expressed as a market percentile score
7. A product’s overall market score is the average of their four percentile scores

3. A Top-3 award is granted to the three
market-specific products with the highest
overall scores
4. An Innovation award is granted to the
leading market-specific product in each of
these four categories:
• Enterprise value
• Product capabilities
• Product satisfaction
• Product penetration

Conclusions and Recommendations
36. IT & DATA MANAGEMENT RESEARCH,
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS & CONSULTING
Conclusions
The 1st 10 years of DevOps:
• Accelerating software delivery was a key objective (slide 13)
• Implementing the MVP (minimum viable pipeline) (slide 15)
• High penetration of SCodeM, MT, DTE, TEM, SCM, CI/CD, ARA, CTP, CDI,
BM*suggests the right tools are in place to achieve this (slide 15)
• Fast software delivery now occurring at 40% of large enterprises (slide 10)
Visibility into time/cost to address features/defects remains an issue
• Enterprises split 50/50 on whether they have high or limited visibility (slide 12)
Three most important DevOps objectives
• Improve SW delivery speed, improve app reliability, improve the UX (slide 13)
• Dealing with scope change and dev/test issues persist (slide 14)
Slide 36 © 2020 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc.
37. IT & DATA MANAGEMENT RESEARCH,
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS & CONSULTING
Conclusions
The next 3-5 years of DevOps: putting the Ops in DevOps
• Growth in app RM, DB RM, testing @ scale, OA, ARRM, & VSM are all data-driven
methods to better enable SW delivery, deployment, and operation.
• Portfolio capabilities, where supported, could drive risk management and optimization
Value Stream Management
• Only 13% of enterprises have fully embraced VSM (slide 17)
• VSM expected value: eliminates delays, improve quality, standardize processes,
demands a customer focus, improves performance (slide 18)
• 51% of large enterprises say VSM impact is significant or transformative (slide 19)
• Penetration of internally developed solutions (42%) and Excel (26%) exists because of
missing market-specific tool capabilities. (slide 20)
• VSM tools beginning to offer functional depth, integration, scale, and SoR features
(slide 21)

Conclusions
Operational Analytics
• Expected benefits: avoid software failures, improve performance, improve quality,
eliminate delays, improve staff productivity, supports value chain improvements (slide 26)
• Increased maturity of market-specific tools limits appeal of internally developed solutions
(slide 27)
Test Environment Management
• Managing TEs can be enormously resource intensive (slide 31)
• The root cause of most outages is due to configuration problems or deployment failures
not coding or data access issues (slide 32)
• Primary TEM tool use shows some Excel but almost no internally developed solutions
(slide 33)

Recommendations
Building out your DevOps strategy
• Determine where you are in tool adoption
• Most enterprises plan to have a comprehensive tool chain in place by 2023
• Consider tool acquisitions relative to pain points and opportunities for greatest net
benefit gains
• VSM and OA share instrumentation and analytic objectives. This provides an
opportunity to bring the SDLC and ITSM together
• Use VSM as a lever to make IT more product and customer focused
• Use OA to better manage production apps and systems
• Engage Ops to incorporate OA activities into VSM-based streams
