What if my DevOps initiative fails

Question

Answer 1

DevOps implementation requires patience and time. To measure your progress or analyze the results you need to give some give at least 2 years once it's completely implemented. You need to make sure if your entire organization is following this process. it requires a team effort. make sure of these few things:

• The entire organization has accepted the new work culture
• You're using the right tools
• Using the right metrics to measure the progress.

Answer 2

Devops initiatives in most of such scenarios require Time and Patience.

This is a snippet I read somewhere and save for myself

Some of the core reasons DevOps initiatives fail include:
Not spreading a DevOps culture across the entire organization.
Choosing the tools without conducting research about what they do and evaluating whether they are a fit in your organization.
Setting unrealistic goals.
Trying to apply the same recipe that other companies have.
Not training your people.
Implementing a hybrid approach to DevOps where you attempt to keep your old culture.
