Data-driven Insights
The State of the Route to Live report will provide a data-driven examination of the current state of software delivery. The findings presented will offer both strategic guidance for C-suite executives and actionable recommendations for engineering teams, with a focus on practical, proven solutions to common delivery challenges.
Today’s organisations face unprecedented pressure to deliver software features and products at an ever-accelerating pace. The ability to efficiently move ideas from conception to production—what we call the “Route to Live” (RTL)—has become a critical competitive differentiator.

Clear issues
Proven solutions
Drawing on our work across a range client engagements we have analysed over 30 RTL assessments across industries including financial services, retail, healthcare, media and technology that collectively represent over £2 billion in annual technology investment and involve more than 5,000 engineering professionals.
The report identifies key bottlenecks in contemporary delivery pipelines, will present proven solutions developed through real-world implementations, and offer a blueprint for RTL excellence that can be adapted across industries. We found that the most successful organisations integrate quality throughout their delivery pipeline, implement consistent and reliable environments, automate governance processes, and prioritise developer experience.
We also look ahead to explore how AI Agents are changing the RTL and how teams can capitalise on the positive impacts while mitigating negatives.
