Summary

According to the 2022 Observability Forecast report, many bosses are already advocates for observability, with 66% perceiving directors, VPs, and executives as strong supporters. However, some leaders may need convincing, especially if they resist or aren't aware of observability. To make a case for observability, one can emphasize the importance of monitoring the entire tech stack, connect it to the bottom line, and discuss the impact of tool and data fragmentation. The report highlights that full-stack observability is still a rare achievement, with only 27% of organizations having achieved it. Despite challenges, the benefits of observability are clear, including increased efficiency, business growth, reduced staff burnout, and improved customer experience. With many companies expanding their observability capabilities, it's essential to share insights and best practices to help leadership prioritize this critical aspect of application performance and customer experience.
