"Autonomy for development teams"?

"More autonomy for development teams: build a trust-based DevOps culture allowing teams to adopt Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery practices and deliver value in small iterations (current deployment guide mentions a lead time of over six weeks for new services!)."

Does this sound like something that a new volunteer would say? Not a new professional developer hired?

This makes me think. Was the list of participants in the survey vetted, in order to assure that they were volunteers only, not new hires?

The comment below about Phragile in the topic below is also from the same individual response. This response is from a developer with a wikimedia.de address.. so yeah I sent the emails to everybody then from the list I had. Six people from July and August, who received the survey were staff members. Ahha, hope not to repeat the same mistake next time, but now to make up for this, should I just add a point in the Key findings as the next step towards improvement or something else?

Right. No problem, another lesson learned. We need to have a documented sequence of steps, where we first agree on the list of newcomers reflected in the metrics and events organized, and then we send the survey to those newcomers.
