Jan 23, 2020 by Armory
- Best vs. Worst: Number of applications successfully migrated into the cloud from data centers in the first 9 and 12 months
- Differences between the leaders vs. laggards: How the culture of the executive suite is driving the divide between the best and worst-performers
Transcript+Audio: Isaac’s Take on the Data:
Here is the Benchmark Data:
Application Onboarding Benchmarks
- Top performers onboard an average of 34 applications onto Armory Spinnaker in the first 9 months.
- The lowest performers average just 1.
- With some top quartile enterprises onboarding 44 applications in just 8 months
- The highest performer almost doubled the Top Performer average, with 82 applications onboarded in one year.
User Onboarding Benchmarks
- Top performers onboard an average of 56 users in the first five months. Note the spike in month three: Top performers typically start with a lighthouse application and team, prove the value internally, and then scale that success across the organization
Main Take-Aways

Jez Humble and David Farley, who literally wrote the book on “Continuous Delivery” 10 years ago, gave a keynote at the recent DeliveryConf. The room was packed with the who’s who of DevOps/Delivery. The presentation’s core was largely centered on culture:
“Without aligned cultural values, you won’t be able to accomplish CD or engineering performance.”
This slide echos what Armory typically sees as well:
