Continuous Delivery is state of the art for software development, it is how most of the best software companies in the world work. So how close is your organisation to achieving Continuous Delivery? CD is the best way to organise your work, but it is not an easy process to adopt. So what are the markers of success, what are the targets to aim for, and the measuring sticks that will help you evaluate where you are now, and what next steps you should take. In this episode, Dave Farley, author of the book that introduced Continuous Delivery as an approach, explores these questions and defines a checklist of 14 markers that if you are achieving them clearly state that you are indeed practicing CD and building better software faster. These are excellent tools to help you on your journey and can help you to decide where to next focus your efforts to improve.
