• No it’s not a role!
• No it’s not a title!

It’s called Continuous Integration!

wants that it has all possible features, but…
…when he uses taxi (service) it doesn’t
matter what features it has,
just that it takes him from A to B

26. Three ways
System thinking
Culture Ops
Feedback
(customer)
Dev
(business)
By Gene Kim

27. Think your whole development process as a
system where single change is the item.
How can you make the process
better, faster, smooth and error safe?
-System thinking

28. If you don’t measure, you cannot improve.
It’s like driving car eyes blinded!
-Feedback

29. Understanding that repetition and
practice is the prerequisite to mastery!
-Culture of continuous experimenting and learning

secret for the next step.”
