The document discusses continuous integration and continuous delivery, emphasizing the importance of integrating code frequently and ensuring software is always production-ready. It explores challenges organizations face in delivering business value, referencing concepts like Conway’s Law and the inverse Conway maneuver, suggesting structural changes to improve integration processes. Additionally, it highlights the risks associated with release schedules and the need for prioritization in feature development, advocating for a cultural shift towards more frequent, smaller releases.

3. Continuous Integration
“Continuous Integration is a software development
practice where members of a team integrate their
work frequently, usually each person integrates at
least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day.
Each integration is verified by an automated build
(including test) to detect integration errors as quickly
as possible.“
- Martin Fowler, ThoughtWorks

4. Continuous Delivery
“…continuous delivery means making sure your
software is always production ready throughout its
entire lifecycle – that any build could potentially be
released to users at the touch of a button using a fully
automated process in a matter of seconds or
minutes.”
- Jez Humble, ThoughtWorks

5. Continuous Delivery or
Continuous Deployment?
“I see the difference as a business decision about frequency of
deployment into production. Continuous Deployment is
actually deploying every change into production, every day
or more frequently.”
“…continuous deployment implies continuous delivery the
converse is not true. Continuous delivery is about putting
the release schedule in the hands of the business, not in the
hands of IT… any build could potentially be released to
users at the touch of a button using a fully automated
process in a matter of seconds or minutes”

20. Conway’s Law
“organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs
which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations”
- M. Conway, 1967

21. Conway’s Law Applied
to Business Value
“Organizations which design IT products are constrained to
produce business value at a rate limited by the organizational
structure”

your desired architecture”

28. Process
• The only way to know if an idea that
looks good on paper will generate
revenue is to test it on customers
• Release, measure, improve/abort

Hmm… ok, are
they prioritzed?

43. The Risk Reduction -

Ehh… sure.
We want them
all!

No buts … we
need to REDUCE
risk

51. The Risk Reduction -

and release LESS
often with MORE

Ehh… wouldn’t
that INCREASE

What? No, of
course not. Let’s get
