We recently commissioned an independent study on Continuous Delivery. Now, you might ask, “what is this so called ‘Continuous Delivery’ and why should I care?” Well, that’s exactly what we set out to determine. Continuous Delivery is a methodology that automates and streamlines software development and speeds up release lifecycles. We polled 600 IT professionals across the U.S. and the U.K. to find out if they knew what Continuous Delivery is, if they were practicing it, and if they believed it would help them get ahead. The survey revealed that not only are the majority of respondents familiar with CD, but 65% of have adopted the practice for at least one project and nearly 50% believe their competitors are practicing it! So what are you waiting for?

Here's an infographic that shows these and other insights from the survey.
