The first edition of the IBM Software Delivery Report is now available.
Thanks to your participation in the IBM Software Delivery Survey 2022, we now have a unique view to the current trends and perceptions of software delivery from the software engineer’s vantage point. We want to thank each one of you who completed the survey last year. It is a privilege to have had the opportunity to engage with you and now to provide a summary of the survey results.
The software delivery industry is facing an overwhelming demand to accelerate the delivery of secure and reliable software. Businesses want enhanced customer value and competitive advantages delivered as fast as possible. While customers have little to no tolerance for poor quality or performance. Effectively achieving these business goals and customer satisfaction depends on a company’s speed of delivering software. However, this year’s survey results show that software delivery is still inefficient for many organizations.
IBM’s Software Delivery Survey 2022 revealed that there are two prevailing gaps in a software delivery team’s ability to become efficient:
- The software delivery experience gap, as it impacts the adoption of agile practices and automation
- Nearly all (91%) developers said it’s expensive and unproductive to have manual processes where intelligent automation can reduce cost and lower risk.
- Very few (under 10%) developers said they have enough insight to make changes happen to their software delivery process.
- The software delivery automation gap - developers believe they could deliver better software faster if they could automate the non-creative parts of the software delivery process
- Over two-thirds (82%) of developers said their software delivery is inefficient.
- Over three-quarters (77%) of developers said the quality of their software is marginalized
With these gaps in mind, one thing is abundantly clear: to drive sustainable business success, organizations need to give their software delivery teams the automation tools they need. Hence the theme of this year’s report, “If software matters, then the efficiency of software delivery matters.”
