5 levels of DevOps maturity
Most teams sit between levels — strong in one domain, lagging in another. That's normal. The roadmap helps you see the full picture.
Ad Hoc
Manual processes, siloed teams, heroic deployments. Every release is a risk event.
Defined
Documented processes, basic CI, some automation. Reproducible but not yet continuous.
Measured
Full CI/CD pipeline, automated testing, DORA metrics tracked, culture shift underway.
Optimised
Platform engineering, self-service, SRE practices, FinOps integrated. DevOps is invisible — it's just how you work.
AI-Native
AI-assisted code review, automated incident triage, intelligent capacity planning. Cognitive DevOps.
