DevOps Readiness Checklist: Assess Your Team in 30 Minutes
Score your engineering team across the practices that decide how fast and safely you can ship.
DevOps initiatives fail when they start with tools instead of an honest look at how the team works today. This checklist scores your organisation across the practices that actually determine delivery speed and reliability, from how code is branched and reviewed to how incidents are handled, and turns the answers into a clear starting point.
It takes about thirty minutes to complete with your lead engineer. The result is a maturity score per area and a short list of the changes that will make the biggest difference first, which is the same assessment we run at the start of every DevOps engagement.
