Boost Your Team’s DevOps Maturity with an Open‑Source Assessment Framework

Yes, I've open‑sourced a project — DevOps Maturity.

It helps you and your team evaluate and improve DevOps practice levels, and even serves as a handy “big‑picture” for management.

Let's see what it is.

In daily work we often talk about DevOps, but have you ever wondered:

What is our team's DevOps maturity?

How do we measure one group’s performance against another?

Is there a unified metric?

Based on these questions we need a DevOps maturity model to help teams assess and raise their practice.

Traditional methods like a wiki or Excel are inefficient and hard to track, so we created a modern, efficient way, resulting in the open‑source DevOps Maturity project.

DevOps Maturity Specification

The specification is based on the DevOps Maturity Model[1] and Google DORA[2], implemented with practical considerations.

It defines characteristics and metrics for each maturity level, allowing teams to know:

Which stage they are currently in.

Where to improve next.

Key points:

The specification covers fundamentals, quality, security, supply‑chain security, analytics and reporting, each with actionable assessment items.

Results are shown not as percentages but as badge levels to motivate continuous improvement.

More details are on the website.

DevOps Maturity Assessment Tool

With the specification, we also built an assessment tool offering both Web and CLI interfaces.

The assessment results are stored in a SQLAlchemy database and can be viewed and analyzed via Web or CLI.
