Continuous Delivery is a revolutionary new concept in business agility, fuelled by ThoughtWorks. It can help large enterprises become as lean, agile and innovative as startups -- making it possible to continuously adapt software in line with user feedback, shifts in the market and changes to business strategy.

Continuous Delivery calls on IT and business leaders to break down the silos that segregate Business, Development, Testing and Operations, and create a culture of collaboration and discovery across the entire organisation. It introduces new approaches to design, development, testing, configuration and release management. It requires courageous executive leadership and commitment to change.
