Week 02 - Chapter 01 - Accelerate

Week Two Video

  • Unless our IT organizations work within a constant state of inprovement, we will fall behind our competitors

broad findings

  • High performaing organizations will accelerate:

    • delivery of goods and services
    • engagement with the market
    • anticipate reulatory and compliance issues
    • response to security risks / economic changes

  • Software and tech are key differentiators for orgs in the delivery of value to customers and stakeholders

  • strategic use of technology explains revenue and producitvity gains MORE than mergers, acquisitions and entrepreneurship

  • link has been foud between use of technology and profitablity

  • devops has emerged as a key factor in differentiating orgs

    • the answer to how do we build secure resiliant rapidly evolving sistributed systems at scale

  • the following are now considered necessary:

    • continuous integration
    • continuous delivery
    • lean practices
    • collaborative culture

  • devops is accelerating technology HOWEVER organizations often over-estimate their progress when compared to competitiors

  • the potential for value delivery within organizations is often MUCH greater than executive teams realize

Focus on Capablilities, not Maturity

  • maturity models are flawed versus capability models

four factors

  1. maturity models are about "arriving at a final state" while capbablity is focussed on continuing improvement
  2. maturity models prescribe a one size fits all or central process while capbablity models allow autonomous teams
  3. maturity models tend to measure vanity metrics without tying them to outcomes (eg: install base of a certain tool) capablity models focus on key outcomes
  4. maturity models focus on a static level of technological progress while capablity models aim to remain competitive

Evidence based transformations focus on key capablities

  • transformation is available to anyone, the following has been found to not predict performance
    • age of technology
    • ops teams vs. dev teams being responsible for deployments
    • a change approval board (note this is later listed as negatively correlated with performance in a later chapter)
  • last week's 24 key capablities have been foud to predict performance

the value of adopting devops

  • the study's findings have foud DevOps to be more impactful than originally thought

  • 46 times more frequent deployments

  • 440 times faster from commit to deploy

  • 170 times faster mean time to recovery

  • 5 times lower change failure rate
