What happens when software delivery is optimized?

✅ you schedule a 30 minute maintenance window and the deployment takes 5 minutes. Or less. And nobody even notices an outage.

✅ automated tests fail, caused by changes to the product breaking something. The defect is repaired before being released to the customer.

✅ a customer reports a priority 1 bug and the fix that satisfies their problem is deployed in just a few hours. Fully tested.

True stories.

The software delivery system needs to be designed. Taken care of.

Not thoughtlessly accepted as “that’s how things work”. Or randomly assembled from “everyone does what they think is best at the time”.
