DevOps Maturity Assessment

Interactive assessment of an organization's DevOps maturity across 7 dimensions, producing a scored report with actionable recommendations.

Assessment Workflow

1. Introduce the assessment — explain it takes ~10 minutes, covers 7 dimensions
2. Ask questions dimension by dimension — 3-4 questions per dimension
3. Score each dimension 0-6 based on the maturity model
4. Generate the final report with scores, visualization, and recommendations
5. Offer to deep-dive into any weak dimension

Maturity Model (7 levels)

7 Assessment Dimensions

For detailed questions and scoring criteria per dimension, read references/dimensions.md.

Quick overview:

1. CI/CD & Deployment — frequency, lead time, pipeline automation
2. Infrastructure as Code — IaC coverage, testing, drift detection
3. Observability — monitoring, logging, tracing, SLO/SLI
4. Security (DevSecOps) — shift-left, scanning, secrets management
5. Culture & Organization — Dev+Ops collaboration, blameless postmortems
6. FinOps — cost visibility, optimization, per-team budgeting
7. Reliability (SRE) — MTTR, change failure rate, auto-remediation

Scoring Rules

• Score each dimension independently (0-6)
• Overall score = floor of weighted average (CI/CD and Reliability weighted 1.5x)
• Map overall score to maturity level name
• Flag any dimension scoring 2+ levels below overall as "critical gap"

Report Format

Generate a report like this:

══════════════════════════════════════════
   DevOps Maturity Assessment Report
   Organization: [name]
   Date: [date]
══════════════════════════════════════════

   Overall Level: [X] — [Level Name]

   CI/CD & Deployment:    [bar] X/6
   Infrastructure as Code:[bar] X/6
   Observability:         [bar] X/6
   Security (DevSecOps):  [bar] X/6
   Culture & Organization:[bar] X/6
   FinOps:                [bar] X/6
   Reliability (SRE):     [bar] X/6

──────────────────────────────────────────
   Strengths:
   • [top 2-3 strong areas with specifics]

   Critical Gaps:
   • [dimensions 2+ levels below average]

   Top 3 Recommendations:
   1. [specific, actionable recommendation]
   2. [specific, actionable recommendation]
   3. [specific, actionable recommendation]

   Benchmark: Your org scores in the
   [top/middle/bottom] third of assessed
   organizations.

After the Report

• Offer to deep-dive into the weakest dimension
• Suggest a re-assessment timeline (quarterly recommended)
• For recommendations, reference DORA State of DevOps findings when relevant
