Common mistakes
One idea, plainly put.Teams slip on DevSecOps in four familiar ways. Each makes a soft assumption look like a precise number.
- No segments. Treating DevSecOps as one number for all. Break it out before you trust it.
- No context. Reporting DevSecOps with no baseline. A bare number cannot be judged.
- Wrong target. Treating DevSecOps as the goal. The goal is the outcome it predicts.
- Raw benchmarks. Stacking DevSecOps against rivals blind. Normalize for margin, pricing, and sales cycle.
