Time To Market

It’s not exactly a surprise that 8/10 of our customers chooses speed and time to market when setting their goals for a Continuous Delivery project. A highly automated environment gives you the advantage to be able to release new features at your convenience and as often as you want to. This is the foundation of a speedy feed-back loop giving you the competitive edge in an environment where you depend on being first to market.

Quality

If there is something that potentially can break a company, it is lack of quality. Organisations that have implemented CI/CD creates a culture that enables and nurtures quality-driven behaviours. This broad organizational change employing automated processes, new collaborations and shared responsibility results in the entire team owning quality.

Cost

Keeping track of cost is an important part of a long-term success for any company. This includes ofcourse IT and the development of new services. Even though IT for most companies is increasingly important there needs to be a good bang for a buck. CI/CD and DevOps introduces a new way of working with short iterations and fast feedback from users. All this creates an environment where you continuously can track progress and cost. In addition, the ability to create an accurate budget forecast.

Culture

From own experience in our projects there is one effect that is a bit overlooked when implementing CI/CD and DevOps which is culture and ways of working. These new methods and tools not only modernise the technical platform but also create a high class working environment. More organisational time is spent on what can move them forward and less on trying to fix legacy systems. We clearly observe a change in peoples attitudes after a successful project where the employees are happier and feel that they deliver more value in their everyday work.
