Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations

Can you use technology to improve business profitability? For years we have been told that the productivity of programming teams is not that important because it cannot provide a company with a competitive advantage. The core of this book is research using rigorous statistical methods, including data gathered from state of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet by Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim. For four years, they've been looking for ways to measure software delivery performance and what drives it. This book presents both the results and the scientific approaches behind that research so that you can put it all into practice in your organizations. You'll learn how to measure the performance of your teams and which areas are worth investing in to improve performance.
