"The report’s authors speculate that “It may be that the ubiquity of DevOps practices has allowed developers and organizations to increase the complexity of projects they are involved in, counteracting the benefits to development velocity. In other words, DevOps practices have likely made the development velocity of complex projects comparable to simpler projects without DevOps practices.” So.. in other words - DevOps is in great health. As a nit, that would not be "counteracting the benefits to development velocity". It would be increasing it for those complex use cases. It might be lowering the poorly used statistical average, but that is more of a 'you' problem from using exceptionally poor statistical practices. I always find these broad 'Something is not dead yet but dying' articles to be of very low overall content value. They far too often depend of either highly anecdotal information, or even worse conclusions based on widespread data averages. Even worse than that, self reported AND self selected data.
