UK teams are encountering major challenges in software deployments, significantly hampered by skills gaps and resource shortages. A study by Gearset identified that 82% of UK businesses experience delays, with deployments 26% more likely to be late than early. The financial toll is severe, averaging £107,000 wasted annually per organization. The average deployment frequency stands at once every 29 days, with delays extending timelines by 3.8 months. Development teams cite insufficient personnel and inadequate tools as primary obstacles, showcasing a troubling trend in the UK's DevOps capabilities compared to DORA benchmarks.
Over half (51%) of respondents pointed to under-resourced teams - lacking sufficient personnel or appropriate tools - as the main obstacle to more frequent and successful deployments.
The average British organisation deploys new software just once every 29 days, and delays add an average of 3.8 months to project timelines.
