How can we use technology to increase corporate value? For years, we've been taught that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't important and that it can't give our companies a competitive advantage. Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a methodology to quantify software delivery performance and what drives it using rigorous statistical approaches across four years of breakthrough research that included data collected from the State of DevOps reports produced with Puppet. Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps covers both the conclusions and the science underlying the research, making it easy for readers to implement the information in their own businesses.
Readers will learn how to measure their teams' performance and what capabilities they should invest in to generate improved performance. This book is appropriate for managers at all levels.
