Attending a number of exhibitions this year, I have been struck by how little things have changed since last year. Indeed many of the suppliers at their stands have been quite muted in their messages and there has been little indication of much innovation. Overall the impression has been one of "more of the same" and a little "me too" in terms of what they have been promoting.
This year's State of DevOps Report showed increasing adoption of overall Lean (Agile and DevOps) practices and moved the emphasis to leadership as Digital becomes more embedded as a Digital as Usual practice.
The World Quality Report also showed higher demand on QA and testing, but a shortfall on budget and resources. Although it did express the anticipation that budgets would increase soon.
Both reports indicated maturing of accepted practice rather than new or radical changes in approach, or further innovations.
So, although technical progress may not be advancing much, adoption is definitely becomming mainstream.
This I take as confirmation that Digital is firmly mebedded as the new normal.
