Publication explains how organizations can leverage Continuous Delivery concepts
to develop production software within days instead of months.
Boston, MA (USA), May 09, 2014 -- Turning good ideas into marketable software
quickly is now a business imperative for every enterprise. Turning Continuous
Delivery – accelerating the software development and release process – has been
a top priority for CIOs based on recent surveys conducted with Fortune 1000
companies. Software development objectives such as these set the stage for –The
IT Manager–s Guide to Continuous Delivery,– a new book announced today by
XebiaLabs ( http://www.xebialabs.com ).
This is one of the only guides of its type that covers the subject of Continuous
Delivery. It presents measurable business benefits and is written for non-
technical readers, starting with concrete advice on how to get started.
Authored by four Continuous Delivery experts with extensive hands-on experience,
the book champions the concept of Continuous Delivery in enabling organizations
to build automated software delivery platforms for releasing high-quality
applications faster. The book also presents how Continuous Delivery is a set of
processes and practices that radically removes waste from the software
production process and creates a rapid and effective feedback loop with end
users.
–In a competitive economic environment, every organization should consider this
game-changing approach,– says co-author Andrew Phillips, who is also Vice
President of Product Management at XebiaLabs. –Continuous Delivery helps reduce
time-to-market from weeks and months to days or even hours.–
Other authors of book include Xebia IT Architects Principal Consultants Michiel
Sens, Adriaan de Jonge, and Mark van Holsteijn. Xebia is an international IT
services firm with 400 employees.
David Farley, co-author of –Continuous Delivery,– said, –Continuous Delivery is
at the leading edge of software development thinking. Much of the literature and
discussion focuses on the technical aspects, but CD is a process that crosses
boundaries and helps to make businesses more efficient. This book describes that
process.–
