Accelerate: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations

By: Nicole Forsgren PhD, Jez Humble, Gene Kim

Narrated by: Nicole Forsgren

Accelerate your organization to win in the marketplace.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Listeners will discover how to measure the performance of their teams and what capabilities they should invest in to drive higher performance. This book is ideal for management at every level.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Cómo construir organizaciones humanas en tecnologí

Nicole describe muy bien los resultados de su investigación dando razones de peso para implementar algunas prácticas dentro de las industrias del conocimiento.

Efficient book w general and somewhat obvious but solid conclusions

Great if you need to convince your org to change.
Narration was not professional. Word annunciation falls apart if you listen beyond 1.75x. Even that speed is pushing it. Tone and rhythm very homogenous.

Not well-suited to audio

The content is, as with most Kim & Humble material, valuable but technical enough to benefit from being able to read as well as listen.

Very positive and useful material.

Interesting until midway

Finally some science behind claims. The results from their study were very interesting. However, I struggled with the second half of the book, unsure why I was listening to this.

Not bad but somehow superficial

Not a bad read but if you expect deep insights or detailed tools or in depth practices perhaps this is not the right book. Has some general overview of good practices within software engineering teams but nothing insightful or original as an approach.
