Overview of DevOps Maturity Model Adoption in Chinese Banking
Amid digital transformation, enterprises are adopting DevOps to boost IT efficiency. The DevOps Capability Maturity Model series, spearheaded by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), provides guidance that many leading firms use to improve IT capabilities, integrate resources, and better support business systems.
Bank Participation and Assessment Numbers
State‑owned commercial banks such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications (including its Credit Card Center) and Postal Savings Bank of China completed 19 DevOps maturity assessments.
Joint‑stock banks including China Merchants Bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, CITIC Bank, Ping An Bank, China Everbright Bank and China Minsheng Bank completed 47 assessments.
City commercial banks and other financial institutions such as Ningbo Bank, Zhongyuan Bank, Zhengzhou Bank, Baixin Bank, Xinwang Bank, Zhongbang Bank and Zhongyuan Consumer Finance completed 13 assessments.

Key Findings
Numbers reflect projects evaluated against DevOps Continuous Delivery Level 3, Technical Operations Level 2/2+, Security & Risk Management Level 2, and system/tool assessments. For example, Bank of Communications includes two CD projects at the head office and one at the credit‑card center. One additional enterprise achieved Level 2 Continuous Delivery in four projects.
About the DevOps Capability Maturity Model
The model series was jointly developed by CAICT, the Cloud Computing Open‑Source Industry Alliance, the Efficient Operations Community, BATJ, and major financial, telecom and internet companies. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative DevOps standard in China and has been approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
In July 2020, the standard was formally concluded by the United Nations‑affiliated ITU‑T, becoming the world’s first international DevOps standard. The evaluation framework covers six domains: agile development management, continuous delivery, technical operation, application design, security & risk management, and system & tool assessment.
