The Ultimate Playbook for High-Performing DevSecOps Teams

IT leaders may realize that the performance of development, security, and operations teams affects how quickly the organization can produce new software. However, leaders also need to be aware that team performance is integral to how the overall business can take on competitors and ride out changes in a turbulent market. High-performing DevSecOps teams are directly tied to creating a stronger business. And IT leaders — from managers to directors and executives — play a critical role in exactly how effectively and efficiently those teams function and are able to bolster the company’s brand, customer loyalty, partner relationships, and ultimately the bottom line.

“It’s not just up to team members to make sure they’re running at top performance, creating software efficiently, at speed, and securely. IT leaders have a shared responsibility in ensuring their teams have a strong vision, resources, and a culture of learning, collaboration, and development. It would be difficult for any team to be successful without strong leadership.” – Fatima Sarah Khalid, developer evangelist at GitLab

If your organization already has an AI-powered DevSecOps platform, that’s a great start because it eliminates the complexity, mounting costs, and security risks that go along with a toolchain. But there’s a chasm of difference between elite teams and everyone else, affecting how resilient, secure, and reliable your team is able to be.

If teams are falling somewhere below a top performance level, they’re not taking full advantage of all the features and processes that could be powering your software development lifecycle.
