“Our research shows that the future of DevOps at any organization is dependent upon the breadth and depth of capabilities and the supporting skills of the team members and within the team,” says Oehrlich. “A successful DevOps journey (actually any journey) has the DNA of a learning organization which means there is a commitment of continuous learning across all layers and players. Team members have changed their mental models to look at different views working in a collective and collaborative team. For example, problems and mistakes are opportunities to learn.

Why Site Reliability Engineering Is Key to Modern DevOps Among the hottest areas of growth in DevOps is the emerging field of site reliability engineering as organizations look to bake reliability into the earliest stages of the software development cycle.
DevOps is all about integrating different skill sets, including development and operations, into a cohesive workflow.
An increasingly important element of the DevOps model is site reliability engineering (SRE). In a
session at the Interop Digital 2020 event last October, Jayne Groll, CEO of the DevOps Institute, said site reliability engineers are becoming more in demand for DevOps.
