Jenkins and Continuous Delivery – Jan 29, 2014

8. Traditionally, cost models are created and reviewed exclusively by
the operations teams that host and run the systems. Developers and
development managers rarely see cost models and are almost never
asked to help author them. As a result, development teams can
unintentionally create code or prioritize features in ways that drive
unintended costs, many of which manifest as deployment difficulties
and delays.
Remedy: the operations team engaged lead software developers and
managers as coauthors and equal owners of the cost model. This
collaborative approach to cost modeling increases transparency and
helps foster a culture in which everyone understands and cares
about how their choices affect operations.

9. The speed at which software is conceived, created, tested,
deployed and used has been increasing so fast that enterprises
are in continual realignment of their business with IT.
In order to keep up with the pace that the business demands,
organizations are having to rethink their structure and apply
lean and agile end to end holistically.
Agile and Lean frameworks have evolved to scale an
organization both horizontally AND Vertically. One such
framework is Dean Leffingwell’s SAFe.
