Description: A common specification for Continuous Delivery events
We are all too aware that teams building software products have a hidden overhead that they must manage. Everyone involved understands that you are building a machine to solve your customers' problem, and that this machine is an asset that must be invested in and maintained, in order to maximize its value. What many fewer people recognize is that to do this successfully, you must also own a second machine, whose only purpose is to build the first.
The first machine, that is your product, is highly visible and commands all the attention and investment.
The second machine, that is critical to maintaining the value of the first, often sits in darkness, neglected and poorly understood, despite being essential to building all the value in your business.
