About The Book
For years, it’s been said that the performance of software delivery teams doesn’t matter—that it can’t provide a competitive advantage. Accelerate, encompasses four years of research for methods to measure software delivery performance – and what drives it – through rigorous statistical methods. The book presents both the findings and the science behind that research. Readers will discover how to measure the performance of their teams, and what capabilities they should invest in to drive higher results. It makes the information accessible for readers to apply in their own organizations and is ideal for management at every level.
“Our goal with Accelerate is to provide an evidence-based framework to organizations grappling with the challenges of digital transformation. Readers will discover how to measure their progress on delivering software products and services with speed and stability, and the capabilities that drive these outcomes,” said Jez Humble, co-author of The DevOps Handbook, Lean Enterprise, and the Jolt Award-winning Continuous Delivery.
