The Quest for the Golden Pipeline

A guided tour of a modern continuous delivery process, along with the benefits and challenges it presents - focused on Value Stream Mapping, Quality Assurance, Automation and Measurement.
I’m a visual person, when I started out with build and release engineering and agile, charged with reducing cycle time I wanted a holistic view of the current system and a path to tackling the issues. I've since learned much more about the practice of value stream mapping and how it can help tune your delivery process.

29. @steveElsewhere •Cycle time (deploys /day /dev) •Automated test coverage •Number of defects / week •Duration of build •Manual intervention
30. @steveElsewhere Properties of the codebase: • Amount of duplication • Cyclomatic complexity • Efferent and afferent coupling • Style problems
