As the New Year kicks off, it is a time for reflection and a chance to look ahead and plan for what is to come.

Are You Paying a ‘Wait-Time Tax’ on Your Global DevOps?
Business increasingly is global, so DevOps has become global as well. In fact, for many enterprises, DevOps entails collaboration between development, test/QA and ops teams across multiple continents. This is in part due to the economics of IT labor and in part because applications for global enterprises have to be deployed globally. Unfortunately, enterprises executing […]
Closing the Gap on Continuous Delivery Metrics that Matter
Management guru Peter Drucker once said, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” I would take a step back and say, If you can’t measure it, you can’t get it off the ground.

Although the terms continuous delivery and continuous deployment are often used interchangeably, they don’t mean the same thing. Under continuous delivery, you prepare all software updates as […]
Assembling the Key Components of Continuous Delivery
As agile methodology was popularized at the start of last decade, engineering teams gained the opportunity to begin producing software in shorter cycles, while releasing it reliably at more frequent intervals. This concept garnered greater attention in 2009, when Tim Fitz published his thoughts on continuous deployment. By the time Jez Humble authored his seminal book, […]
Should Continuous Deployment Be Renamed?
