> In their O’Reilly publication “Enterprise Roadmap to SRE,”1 DORA survey contributors James Brookbank and Steve McGhee reflect on their experiences of implementing SRE in established organizations, and recommend “acknowledging the J Curve of change.” Previously described in the 2018 State of DevOps Report, the “J Curve,” is a phenomenon in which organizational transformations tend to exhibit early success, followed by periods of diminished returns, or even regressions. Those who persist through these challenges, however, often experience renewed and sustained levels of elevated achievement. ![[Pasted image 20260308155113.png|600]] https://sre.google/resources/practices-and-processes/enterprise-roadmap-to-sre/
