“Dripping water hollows out a stone, not through force but through persistence.” ~ Ovid For over 10 years, I’ve delivered firm-wide DevOps transformations in 3 large US banks. With focused, collaborative efforts, we saw delivery speeds increase by 75% while cost of delivery dropped by 75%. It wasn’t easy, but I assumed other companies were seeing the same results. I spoke to many executives in other companies about their own efforts, and two things became clear. Large-scale DevOps transformations are difficult, and they rarely met the project’s expected ROI.
