Lean Enterprise: Adopting Continuous Delivery, Dev Ops, And Lean Startup At Scale

Description

The second generation of Lean and Agile software delivery methodologies has arrived, in the form of the Lean Startup, Continuous Delivery and DevOps movements, promising faster time-to-market, less waste, and frequent, low-risk releases. But adopting these ideas is hard in enterprises with annual budgeting cycles, compliance concerns, legacy systems to maintain, and organizational silos. This book is a uniquely practical guide to the secrets of transforming non-startups so that they can develop new products and services faster and more cheaply. It addresses the most troublesome and counterintuitive aspects of adoption: process, systems architecture, budgeting and compliance, design and culture--providing examples from organizations that have learned how to do it right the hard way.
