Scary thoughts for your DevOps transformation

Management support is often identified as the greatest blocker to embracing agility and DevOps today:

– 49% have given up hope of implementing DevOps (according to the 2013 Puppet Labs survey) due to lack of buy-in.

– 41% cite resistance to change as the leading barrier to further agile adoption and 31% cite management support as a barrier (according to a VersionOne survey).

– 33% of organizations believe their greatest challenge is management support according to an IBM global survey.
