DevOps Maturity Assessment Tool¶
This interactive tool helps you assess your organization's DevOps maturity level specifically for Java applications. By evaluating your practices across key dimensions, you can identify areas for improvement and create a roadmap for DevOps advancement.
Start Your Assessment¶
This assessment examines your organization's DevOps practices across 8 key dimensions:
- Culture and Organization
- Build and Test
- Continuous Integration
- Deployment Automation
- Infrastructure as Code
- Monitoring and Observability
- Security Integration
- Technical Practices
Answer the questions honestly to get the most accurate assessment of your current state.
Culture and Organization
How would you describe the collaboration between development and operations teams?

Next Steps for DevOps Improvement
Enhance Infrastructure as Code Practices
Your IaC practices scored lowest (1.8/5). Implementing infrastructure as code will significantly improve consistency and reliability.
Recommended Actions:
- Adopt Terraform for cloud infrastructure provisioning
- Create standardized modules for common Java app infrastructure
- Implement validation and testing for infrastructure code
Expected Benefits:
- 40% reduction in environment setup time
- 65% reduction in configuration drift issues
- Improved audit compliance
Improve Monitoring and Observability
Your monitoring practices (2.4/5) could be enhanced to provide better visibility into Java application performance and user experience.
Recommended Actions:
- Implement distributed tracing across Java microservices
- Create standardized dashboards for key metrics
- Set up proactive alerting based on SLOs
About This Assessment¶
This DevOps Maturity Assessment is designed specifically for Java application development and operations. It's based on industry best practices and research from organizations like DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) and our own experience working with hundreds of Java development teams.
Assessment Dimensions¶
The assessment evaluates your organization across 8 key dimensions:
- Culture and Organization: Team structure, collaboration, learning, and leadership
- Build and Test: Build automation, test practices, and quality processes
- Continuous Integration: Code integration, automated validation, and feedback loops
- Deployment Automation: Deployment processes, environment management, and release practices
- Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and environment consistency
- Monitoring and Observability: Metrics collection, alerting, logging, and observability
- Security Integration: Security practices, vulnerability management, and compliance
- Technical Practices: Architecture, technical debt management, and engineering practices
Maturity Levels¶
For each dimension, your maturity is assessed on a five-level scale:
Level 1: Initial
Processes are ad-hoc, manual, and inconsistent. Limited automation and collaboration.
Level 2: Managed
Basic processes established but not consistently applied. Some automation but significant manual intervention.
Level 3: Advanced
Standardized processes with good automation. Collaboration is established with some cross-functional practices.
Level 4: Expert
Highly automated with metrics-driven improvements. Strong collaboration and continuous optimization.
Level 5: Leading
Industry-leading practices with innovative approaches. High-performing teams with continuous learning and optimization.
Using Your Results¶
Your assessment results provide a snapshot of your current DevOps maturity for Java applications and highlight opportunities for improvement. We recommend:
- Focus on high-priority recommendations to address the most critical gaps
- Create an improvement roadmap with specific milestones and objectives
- Reassess regularly (every 6-12 months) to track your progress
- Share results with leadership to secure support and resources for improvement initiatives
FAQ¶
How long will the assessment take?¶
The assessment takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
Is my assessment data saved?¶
The assessment runs entirely in your browser. Your responses aren't sent to a server unless you choose to download a report or schedule a consultation.
How often should we reassess our DevOps maturity?¶
We recommend reassessing every 6-12 months, or after completing significant improvement initiatives.
Can we customize the assessment for our specific Java technology stack?¶
Yes, reach out to our team for a customized assessment tailored to your specific Java technologies (Spring Boot, Jakarta EE, etc.).
How was this assessment model created?¶
This assessment builds on industry research from DORA, State of DevOps reports, and our experience working with hundreds of Java development teams across various industries.
JavaScript Implementation Note¶
This interactive assessment requires JavaScript to function:
```javascript document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { // Variables to track assessment state let currentSection = 'culture'; let currentQuestion = 1; let totalQuestions = 20; // Total across all sections let responses = {};
// Event listeners for buttons

// Save current response
const currentInput = document.querySelector(`input[name="${currentSection}-${currentQuestion}"]:checked`);
if (currentInput) {
responses[`${currentSection}-${currentQuestion}`] = parseInt(currentInput.value);
// Move to next question or section
document.getElementById(`${currentSection}-${currentQuestion}`).classList.add('hidden');
