"Moving Fast at Scale"
summary
Research-backed claim: elite teams deploy 46× more often, have 2,500× faster commit-to-deploy and 2,600× faster recovery, and still cut change failures. Organize small cross‑functional two-pizza teams with autonomy and accountability, insist on “what problem are you trying to solve” before coding, and prioritize “fewer things, more done.” Use incremental delivery, A/B experiments and ML-driven changes — eBay examples: micro A/B tests on ranking plus slimming pages each yield ~2% revenue lifts — build small, measure fast, iterate.
