One of the interesting problems of being immersed in something for years is that it feels really obvious to you. The curse of knowledge is real. So we were really excited to give a talk at IT Revolution’s conference, the Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit. It gave us a chance to lay out our vision of what Progressive Delivery is, and what it may be in the future.…
When we’re making software, it’s easy to have our hearts and minds focused on The Next Thing, the new hardware that will support it, the rate of adoption. But it’s worth remembering that you may have devoted customers who are not going to install your new things right away. They’re worth listening to.
We’re deeply invested in the future of software development, specifically how we can deliver exceptional value to users while minimizing risk. That’s why we’re excited about Dr. Nicole Forsgren and Abi Noda’s new book, Frictionless: How to Outpace Your Competition in the AI Era.
On the surface, letting people have all the customizations anyone has ever asked for seems like a great way to get alignment with what they want. They’ll just use the things they need! And maybe they want something they haven’t thought to ask for.

We hope you’ll vote here on the book that you’ve gotten the most value from or even the one you’re most excited to read, and we…
Progressive Delivery is a book that released today, but it’s us catching the wild yeasts of the last few years and cultivating them into wine and sourdough. We don’t know exactly how it will turn out, but we truly believe that our principles are correct, and that this is the way that software is moving, and must continue to move. We are the ones who wrote it…
Software users, especially in the enterprise, are a captive audience, until they aren’t. How do we respect their experience and their capacity to consent?
This is the second of two articles that explores a key requirement for Progressive Delivery, autonomy. You can find the first article here. What is the work, really?
