Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps
Research-backed insights on building high-performing technology organizations
"High performers deploy multiple times per day, while low performers deploy monthly or less frequently."
— Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble & Gene Kim
My Review
Rigorous research showing that high-performing tech organizations share specific capabilities. The emphasis on flow, feedback, and continuous improvement maps to metabolic efficiency and adaptive systems.
Why It Matters
Provides empirical evidence for what makes organizations metabolically efficient. The metrics framework enables measuring organizational health.
Key Ideas
- Four key metrics define software delivery performance
- Deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and change failure rate
- Culture and technical practices reinforce each other
- Continuous improvement requires measurement
How It Connects to This Framework
Book 2's metabolism concepts and the measurement frameworks throughout.
