Elite Performance Is Wasted on Feature Factories
- Being an elite performer in DevOps means you can deploy early and often with low failure rates and fast recovery when things go wrong.
- Achieving this performance level is to run more experiments with high confidence so your organization can learn more.
- Elite performers can deploy many times a day, with lead time for changes under an hour and have the lowest change failure rate and fastest recovery times.
- This performance level needs embedding the technical practices of continuous delivery in your organization. You need automated tests with managed test data, a loosely coupled architecture and deployment automation.
- Elite performance represents a serious undertaking, so your organization must use an experiment-based approach, moving away from feature-driven thinking.
- A feature-driven team produces features for every demand; however, having infinite capacity to deliver features would simply make it fail sooner.
- Experimental teams would gain more learning from an infinite capacity, which would be incredibly valuable.
- Elite Performance is useful when it gets you fast high-quality feedback, not when it just means more features.
- Short feedback loops contribute to shorter feedback cycles and maximizes learning, increases time spent on new work and makes you more likely to meet and exceed your goals.
- When taking an experimental approach, trying out each theory is crucial. It’s also standard practice to remove the code for experiments you reject.
