# Skills gaps hinder UK software deployment success

**[Developer Tech](https://daily.dev/sources/developertech)** · [@gadget_ry](https://daily.dev/gadget_ry) · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

UK teams are experiencing significant delays in software deployment due to skills gaps, costing organizations an average of £107,000 annually. A Gearset study highlighted that UK software deployments are 26% more likely to be delayed. Key metrics from the DORA report place UK performance in the 'low performing' category, with major delays attributed to under-resourced teams and an IT skills shortage affecting 87% of teams. Misalignment between business leaders and IT departments on the causes of delays further complicates efforts to improve deployment success.

> The question is: where is the gap?
>
> It is fairly standard for teams to report a need for more resources to get tasks done, but I increasingly feel that UK (compared to US) software development lacks serious tech talent within the teams.
>
> Think quality rather than quantity. This is something we need to do something about in the UK to create more so-called 10x developers as with that comes a culture of continuous delivery.

> That is also the path to growth, which in turn will lead to more resources being available to teams to enable success.
