About this listen

Accelerate your organization to win in the marketplace.

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 listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Listeners 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

the speaker is extremely dull and keeps referring to footnote references that is very distracting. the book itself is great thought. I am not sure if I keep listening and otherwise go get the paper or kindle version.

Narrator is a little hard to get used to, but much better to have the author read their own book. Fantastic book, bit worth getting the hardcopy too so you can bookmark and reference.

must read for tech leaders

The content is great and the book flows well. I think with this book it needs an older narrator as it feels she is talking to you about the research etc and it's hard to take her serious at first as she sounds to young to know what she is talking about. she is a good narrator though and I really enjoyed listening to the book once I got used to her voice. the content is great although you can skip the chapter on research methods.

narrator was hard to get used to but great book

being from such great entertainers like jez humble I expected something that was much less of a slog.

seemed to be broken down intro 3 main parts. first they read out survey results, giving very little opinion or surprising results. they then spend a long time convincing the audience the statistical methods behind the survey were sound.

finally there is an interesting chapter on a company that uses the well known Spotify structure. which was good but very short.

disappointedly dull

Poorly written. Not very easy to pay attention to. there are more details about basic research methodologies than the implications of its core findings

Could be a 1 page text
