Why Continuous Delivery Delivers
The Many Benefits of Automating Your Software Environment
High Performing Agile Teams can deliver software up to 10x+ faster with higher quality
Agile isn’t agile without Continuous Delivery
Why Continuous Delivery? Agile software’s short iteration cycles add overhead to the process. Your development team should be using a fully automated environment to ensure your software is always in a state where it can be easily deployed. Automation radically shortens the timeframe for your environment to achieve this state to deliver better code faster.
The ROI of Continuous Delivery
The 4 Most Common Impediments to Continuous Delivery
Time
Time
Your team has the constant pressure of deadlines, meetings, interruptions, fire fighting, troubleshooting, managing vendors, even manually deploying software itself at nights and on weekends.
Buy-In
Buy-In
Getting buy-in can be challenging. Does the business understand the benefit? Does the team understand the benefit? What’s in it for me? Continuous Delivery is more a culture change than just automation.
Know How
Know How
All the tool choices are trade-offs. Understanding and scripting all the third-party components and tools and their dependencies. Dealing with improper project structure and cross-project dependencies and hard to deploy technologies not to mention database deployment.
Experience
Experience
Making sure you using best practices to create a solution that simple, works and everyone will use. How to respond to the changing needs of the business and architecture. Poor execution hurts buy-in and risk.
Models for Continuous Delivery Environments
Self-Hosted
Your location or data center. If you already have a significant investment in infrastructure in place or have other concerns about the cloud, enhancing your existing environment may make good sense.
Cloud Model
A Cloud or Hybrid Cloud option is the absolute fastest path to implementation. It is ideal for companies without significant or aging infrastructure or looking to focus only on the software.
