"In the Lean community, there is a deeply held belief that lead time is one of the best predictors of quality, customer satisfaction and employee happiness. And what we found in our benchmarking work of over 20,000 IT professionals is that it is absolutely true for the technology value stream, as well.”

"The data shows that throughput and stability metrics move in tandem — effectively not supporting ITIL claims that tradeoffs should be made in throughput in order to get stability. The pattern of needing to trade throughput for stability simply doesn't appear in the data.”

cost, and instead started optimizing for delivery speed.”

Why does this work?

Why does this work?
Fast Feedback
![Page 28: DevOps Paradox: Going Faster Brings Higher Quality, Lower Costs, & Better Outcomes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58a6a3691a28ab0a7a8b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Benefits of focusing on Fast Feedback
• Errors are caught sooner when they are cheaper to fix (less rework)
![Page 29: DevOps Paradox: Going Faster Brings Higher Quality, Lower Costs, & Better Outcomes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58a6a3691a28ab0a7a8b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Benefits of focusing on Fast Feedback
• Encourages working in smaller batches (less simultaneous moving parts.. quick diagnosis and fix)
• Encourages get really good at getting through the lifecycle (lower the “transaction” cost)
• Errors are caught sooner when they are cheaper to fix (less rework)
![Page 32: DevOps Paradox: Going Faster Brings Higher Quality, Lower Costs, & Better Outcomes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58a6a3691a28ab0a7a8b4b5b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Benefits of focusing on Fast Feedback
• Encourages working in smaller batches (less simultaneous moving parts.. quick diagnosis and fix)
• Encourages get really good at getting through the lifecycle (lower the “transaction” cost)
• Organization learns faster at all levels (“good at getting better”)
• Errors are caught sooner when they are cheaper to fix (less rework)

Faster feedback means… higher quality, less rework, shorter cycle times, and lower costs.
• Errors are caught sooner when they are cheaper to fix (less rework)
