Is your organization effectively measuring and improving resilience over time, or is chaos engineering just a set of experiments on your checklist? As technology stacks grow in complexity, so does the need for a structured approach to chaos engineering that moves beyond isolated tests. How do you ensure that chaos engineering is not just practiced but actually drives continuous resilience improvements across teams and infrastructure?

In this talk, we’ll explore a maturity model framework for chaos engineering that turns ad-hoc chaos experiments into a progressive journey toward organizational resilience. Attendees will learn how to evaluate, track, and level up their chaos engineering practices. This framework is designed to guide organizations from basic resilience tests to advanced fault-tolerant systems, essential for those striving for high reliability in complex environments.


As chaos engineering matures, there is a growing need for a structured approach to measure and advance its impact across organizations. Moving beyond a series of random failure simulations, chaos engineering can, and should, progress through identifiable levels of sophistication, resulting in resilience improvements that align with organizational goals. But how do you measure chaos maturity, and what roadmap should guide your journey?

This session introduces a Chaos Engineering Maturity Model (CEMM), a framework developed to assess and improve chaos engineering practices at every level of the organization. We’ll dive into how this model outlines progressive stages, from initial chaos test adoption to advanced system-wide fault tolerance. Using LitmusChaos as our primary tool, we’ll discuss how to establish measurable benchmarks at each stage, ensuring that chaos engineering is continually driving tangible improvements.

By adopting a structured maturity model, organizations can identify resilience gaps, improve cross-team collaboration, and build a culture of reliability at scale. Whether your chaos engineering journey is just starting or you’re looking to enhance an existing program, this session will provide a comprehensive roadmap for evolving chaos engineering into a core practice.
