When any part of your software delivery pipeline moves in large batches, it forces the entire pipeline to use the same batch size. You end up with a pipeline sized to the largest batch in your delivery process.

It's often the time it takes to test a software version manually or the cadence of change approvals.

All this investment in "AI" soaks into the sand if you're not using Continuous Delivery or paying attention to the flow of value.

Most teams are drowning in opinions. They argue over "feelings" while ignoring the signal.

➡️ #DORA metrics provide the raw data to move beyond guesswork.
➡️ #ProcessBehaviorCharts show you how to actually interpret them.

Together, they turn "I think" into "I know." Don’t just have an opinion - be the one with the answer!

CI/CD Pipelines Explained: How to Ship Software Fast Without Breaking Everything

The two biggest problems in software delivery are:

1. Discovering what works
2. Not forgetting what we discovered

And the second one is the hardest.

A new episode has been added to the Chilling Deployment Tales; "Sixteen Hours".

"Every six months, with the grim predictability of a condemned man's last meal, a Thursday night would be chosen for the great ritual – the Deployment."

Your "Agile" process is probably why your delivery feels chaotic.

If your predictability depends on story point Tetris, “Scrum-fall” sprints, or the big-batch theatre of an Agile Release Train, you're not taming complexity. You're institutionalising it.

Unevenness in how work flows is Mura, and it’s the real source of waste. Part 2 of my blog series breaks down how to measure this and how to actually fix it.

This true story of manual deployments is truly chilling, especially when you consider how this was for the critical infrastructure for democracy.

Help me create more of these Chilling Deployment Tales by sharing your real-life stories. I'll write them up anonymously in the style of classic Gothic Tales.

You want to paint a wall. The fastest way to start is to open the paint tin and start rolling out the color. Except that’s not the quickest way to paint a wall, as expert painters know. If you give a professional this job, they won’t touch the paint until the surface has been prepared.

What's really slowing your team down? Spoiler alert: it's (mostly) not about technology...

I've written a practical and evidence-based guide that breaks down the eight wastes of modern software delivery, their validated impact on key DORA metrics, and what you can do to fix them.

Stop being busy and start delivering value.

Glaubt ihr, dass kleine Stories im agilen Arbeiten wirklich einen Unterschied machen?

Kleine Stories sind einfacher im Handling und schaffen mehr Fokus im Team.

Sie ermöglichen schnellere Feedback-Zyklen und helfen, echten Wert zu liefern.

"Eine Story soll so klein wie möglich sein und in sich geschlossen."

Lasst uns gemeinsam darüber nachdenken, wie wir die Agilität in unseren Teams verbessern können!

LLM-driven code generation threatens a return to “big batch testing” and massive releases because the amount of code to review is just too large for human comprehension. We’ve been there before and it’s not good.

Continuous Delivery practices helped get out of that mess, but apparently "it all changes with AI" 🧐

Who would welcome a talk / article about this?
