About this title

Synopsis

Winner of the Shingo Publication Award. Accelerate your organization to win in the marketplace.

"We strongly recommend this book to anyone involved in a digital transformation for solid guidance about what works, what doesn't work, and what doesn't matter." —Tom and Mary Poppendieck, authors of the Lean Software Development Series

"A must-read! In a sea of books about technology approaches, Accelerate stands out in its clarity and practicality." —Karen Martin, author of Clarity First and The Outstanding Organization

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years, we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter?that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance?and what drives it?using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for readers to apply in their own organizations.

Readers will discover how to measure the performance of their teams, and what capabilities they should invest in to drive higher performance. This book is ideal for management at every level.

"This is the kind of foresight that CEOs, CFOs, and CIOs desperately need if their company is going to survive in this new software-centric world. Anyone that doesn't read this book will be replaced by someone that has." —Thomas A. Limoncelli, coauthor of The Practice of Cloud System Administration
