Perfect for you if...

You're an engineering leader frustrated by vague performance measures and need concrete evidence to justify investment in DevOps transformation.
You manage teams across technology organisations and want to know which capabilities actually move the needle on delivery speed and reliability.
You're sceptical of DevOps hype and need peer-reviewed research and statistical rigour to convince your executive team.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a hands-on implementation guide with step-by-step tooling instructions rather than measurement frameworks.
You work in organisations where software delivery improvement isn't a strategic priority or you have limited influence over technology investment decisions.
You prefer narrative case studies to research methodology and want inspiration rather than data-backed evidence.

About this book

Winner of the Shingo Publication Award, this book examines how technology can drive business value in organizations. It presents findings from four years of research, including data from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, on measuring software delivery performance and identifying what drives it. Using rigorous statistical methods, the authors—Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim—investigate whether software delivery team performance provides competitive advantage. The book explains both the research findings and the scientific methodology behind them in accessible terms. It provides guidance on measuring team performance and identifying capabilities worth investing in to improve results. The content is intended for managers at all organizational levels.
