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

by Nicole Forsgren PhD, Jez Humble, Gene Kim

This Shingo Publication Award-winning book is now fully updated with the latest research and case studies. 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.

Accelerate is full of insights on what are the most effective methods and strategies for your software team to become highly effective. What I loved about this book is that the arguments are supported by a long running research project around software team performance.

If you are growing a software startup, like I was when reading the book, this book will guide you through how to setup your team and make you more confident on how to assess your team members as well.
