    Frequently asked questions

    How long does a DevOps maturity assessment take?
    It depends which one you run: the quick DORA check is about 3 minutes (12 questions), and the full lifecycle assessment is 20 to 30 minutes. Either way you answer a set of questions and get a maturity profile with your strongest and weakest areas highlighted.
    What does the assessment measure?
    It scores your current practices across the DevOps lifecycle and maps them to a maturity tier. The result shows where you are strong, where the gaps are, and which practices to adopt next.
    Is the assessment free, and do I need to sign up?
    Yes, it is free and needs no sign-up. The assessment runs entirely in your browser, and your answers stay on your device while you see your maturity profile and recommendations.
    What should I do after the assessment?
    Use the result to choose your next step. The roadmap turns your weakest area into a sequence of practices, and the execution kits give each practice a ready-to-run rollout.
