Insufficient IT resources are one of the main demanding situations facing IT organizations today, and corporations will want to implement progression systems to combat this.
According to the DevOps Institute’s Upskilling IT 2022 report, 40% of respondents said that the scarcity of resource skills is one of their 3 most sensitive challenges. While 52% said they have formal education, 27% are just beginning to expand it.
The effects also showed that skills are a professional and organizational imperative, and the five most sensitive skills needed for skill enhancement are procedural framework skills, human skills, technical skills, automation skills, and leadership skills.
In addition, only about 60% of respondents say they are hiring for operations engineering, while 40% are team leaders and 30% are site reliability engineers.
Security and cybersecurity also proved to be the ultimate vital technical skills, according to the report. 92% of respondents cited this skill as essential or vital, and more than 93% said it was to become familiar with some form of DevSecOps.
“Strong human skills, such as collaboration, communication and social adaptability, remain central to the DevOps journey,” said Jayne Groll, executive director of the DevOps Institute. “In 2022, progression is both a unique property and an organizational responsibility. IT professionals eventually manage their own skill progression pathways, and recruitment trends show that developing critical skill sets is a profitable private investment. The Computer Skills Improvement Report provides detailed information on the skills that are most important to gain today by adding must-have human skills. »
The survey involved 2,476 respondents in 120 countries who presented more than 58,000 knowledge points. The studies conducted through DevOps Institute Research Manager Eveline Oechrlich, with the participation of sponsors Platinum GitLab and Prisma Cloud of Palo Alto Networks, Gold Sponsor Rancher and sponsors Cycloid, DDLS, The Linux Foundation, LLPA, LPI, Narada Code, NTUC Learning Hub, Service Desk Institute and Taub Solutions.
