Dev Ops

Second Way: Amplify Feedback Loops

Dev Ops

Dev Ops

Third Way: Culture of Continual Experimentation And Learning

Never pass a known defect downstream Never allow local optimization to create global

degradation Always seek to increase flow Always seek to understand the system

Understand and respond to all customers Shorten and amplify feedback loops Embed knowledge where you need it

Allocate time for improving daily work
