Abstract

DevOps is a software development methodology created to reduce or even remove the division between the Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops) teams. However, DevOps adoption requires overcoming several impediments, and between them, culture change and human factors have the biggest impact. Therefore, this paper addresses the challenge of DevOps adoption from the perspective of DevOps culture and human factors. A systematic mapping study was carried out to create a taxonomy of human factors affecting DevOps adoption. A total of 21 studies were selected and 59 human factors were included in the taxonomy after the extraction and synthesis processes.
