Continuous Delivery 2.0 (1 ed)

The agile transformation is an act of transforming an organisation’s form or nature gradually to one that can embrace and thrive in a flexible, collaborative, self-organising, and fast-changing environment. It seems like most of the companies starting an agile transformation never reach the goal of agility, but there are those few that truly become agile and reap incredible benefits by utilising DevOps as well.

This book introduces the theory and practice of the “double-flywheels model” of Continuous Delivery 2.0: Discovery Loop, which allows information technology (IT) organisations to help businesses figure out the most efficacious ways to develop. Additionally, it explores applications of the Verification Loop that allow IT organisations to deliver value quickly and safely with high quality. Along the way, the book provides an array of insights and case studies that dive into all the aspects of software delivery and how to implement Continuous Delivery most economically for long-term business development.
