Time to deliver a feature to customers after the feature has been designed.
A short Product Delivery Lead Time is important because:
- Enables faster feedback on what's being built, so can course correct
- Enables fixes to be shipped rapidly and with high confidence
## Concrete measure
==How long does it take to go from code committed to code successfully running in production?==
- < 1 hour
- < 1 day
- 1 day – 1 week
- 1 week – 1 month
- 1 month – 6 months
- \> 6 months
## Leverage points
- [[CICD]] pipeline optimisations
- Developer-time tooling
- Speed to learn tech stack
## My #OpenQuestions
- Shouldn't pre-commit developer iteration time be considered as part of this metric?
