Want to reduce cycle time? Commit to a new approach.
Blog post from GitLab
Cycle time, traditionally seen as the period between starting and delivering software, is now being redefined to include the entire software development lifecycle, starting from the idea's inception through to its production deployment. This broader definition emphasizes the importance of the planning stage, as it lays the groundwork for efficient workflows, project management, and resource allocation. Reducing cycle time is crucial in the fast-paced tech industry, as it allows organizations to swiftly respond to market demands, deliver value to customers, and maintain a competitive edge. Long cycle times can lead to loss of market share, revenue, and opportunities, as organizations struggle to keep up with rapidly evolving customer needs. To combat this, increasing visibility and adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices are recommended strategies. These approaches enhance collaboration, streamline processes, and ensure rapid and reliable delivery of software, thus enabling teams to focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.
