Does technology actually matter? And 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, 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. Readers will discover how to measure the performance of their teams, and what capabilities they should invest in to drive higher performance.

This highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling title The Phoenix Project takes another look at Parts Unlimited, this time from the perspective of software development.

Visible Ops is a methodology aimed at enhancing controls and process improvement in IT organizations, focusing on increasing service levels, security, and auditability while managing costs. It comprises four prescriptive steps that guide organizations from any starting point to a state of continuous improvement. While ITIL offers valuable best practices, it lacks clear implementation guidance, making it challenging for organizations to know where to begin. The Visible Ops booklet provides a practical roadmap for those starting or advancing their IT process improvement journey. Developed in response to the common question of how to initiate IT process improvement, Gene Kim and Kevin Behr studied eight high-performing IT organizations since 2000, identifying key processes that led to their success. The Visible Ops methodology outlines these processes in four steps: 1. Stabilize Patient, Modify First Response – Address risky changes to reduce Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) and manage problems effectively. 2. Catch and Release, Find Fragile Artifacts – Inventory assets and services to identify those with low change success rates and high downtime costs. 3. Establish Repeatable Build Library – Implement effective release management to create repeatable builds for critical assets, making it more cost-effective to rebuild than repair. 4. Enable Continuous Improvement – Use metrics to foster ongoing enhancement of Release, Control, a

In the Age of Software, will your business dominate and maintain relevance--or will it become a digital relic?As tech giants and startups disrupt every market, those who master large-scale software delivery will define the economic landscape of the 21st century, just as the masters of mass production defined the landscape in the 20th. Unfortunately, business and technology leaders are woefully ill-equipped to solve the problems posed by digital transformation. At the current rate of disruption, half of S&P 500 companies will be replaced in the next ten years. A new approach is needed. In Project to Product, Value Stream Network pioneer and technology business leader Dr. Mik Kersten introduces the Flow Framework--a new way of seeing, measuring, and managing software delivery. The Flow Framework will enable your company's evolution from project-oriented dinosaur to product-centric innovator that thrives in the Age of Software. If you're driving your organization's transformation at any level, this is the book for you.

Gene Kim and Steven J. Spear, DBA, combine their decades of experience and research to offer a new business dynamic in the digital age.
