Definition of Done: Working software in production

There is no business value with an unused product. Up until the point when real users can start using the product the development is waste. Waste is bad.

Let me show you a case study how I minimized the waste of unused software at one customer. We went from an error prone, manual deployment process to a fully automated one. We cut the deployment time from hours to minutes. About three minutes. We also reduced the risk, and therefore the anxiety, with deployment from high to low. Small changes are inherently less scary.

It was simple, but not easy. I will show you how it was done in this case.

Don’t settle for second best; go for perfection. Go for continuous deployment!
