Briefly

The articles delineate a significant gap between the adoption and maturity of Agile and DevOps practices, with 95% of organizations embracing Agile but only 50% using it at scale. Concurrently, DevOps adoption has risen to 84%. Agile and DevOps are crucial for reducing time to market and enhancing delivery outcomes.
