Why 2018 is the year for DevOps While most IT organizations understand the critical need and importance of DevOps, the 2018 Global Developer Report reveals few have completely adopted the methodology. A study of more than 5,000 responses from software professionals around the world, the report uncovers that although the majority believe DevOps improves cycle time, only 23% say they have adopted a DevOps workflow. What are the major blockers to DevOps adoption and how are developers and IT management navigating the challenging path to continuous delivery? In this webinar we’ll dig the meaning behind the key findings from the report, including: The challenges and status of DevOps adoption Habits of high-performing teams Needs and preferences of developers Top 2018 technology investments Join us for a discussion with Ashish Kuthiala, Director of Product Marketing at GitLab and DevOps.com founder Alan Shimel to hear their top 5 takeaways from this year’s report and what these trends mean for software professionals in 2018.

Every year we examine the needs and preferences of the
developer, compare workplace perceptions with management,
and aim to expose what high-functioning organizations
are doing differently.

collaboration methods, and tools, GitLab’s Annual Developer
Survey aims to empower you, your team, and your manager with
the information you need to work better, together.
