    Abstract

    Software producing organizations aim to release high quality software faster, which triggers the adoption of DevOps. However, not many artifacts are available that aid in adopting DevOps. In an attempt to bridge this gap, a DevOps Competence Model showing an overview of the areas to be considered in adopting DevOps is proposed. Also, a DevOps Maturity Model is proposed that presents a growth path for software producing organizations. Both these models incorporate perspectives that are made up of focus areas which in turn are made up of capabilities. Apart from designing and validating these models by means of expert workshops, a case study has been conducted where assessees answered questions to gain insight into which capabilities were implemented. From the answers, maturity profiles were extracted that supported the assessees in becoming more DevOps mature.
