• First Way (Flow): Work always flows in one direction – downstream Dev Ops ala ‘wall of confusion’ Shafer/Thompson
• Second Way (Feedback): Create, shorten and amplify feedback loops (right to left).
• Third Way (Continuous experimentation): Creating a culture that fosters two things: continual experimentation, taking risks and learning from failure; and understanding that repetition and practice is the prerequisite to mastery.

How do these apply to every project/product worked on?

• Mark Burgess CFEngine, Promise Theory and how the field of physics informs IT. Burgess pretty much invented modern config management space. By extension heavily influenced Adam Jacob @OPsCode/Chef The first time I heard Adam Jacob speak at Velocity 2011, I was struck by how open and generative giving attribution to a hero and influence can be. Mark Burgess, though perhaps less known has had a great influence on the area.

• Lead Time For Changes (the time until a commit goes to production)
• Mean Time to Restore (the time it takes to resolve a service impairment in production)
• Change Failure Rate (the ratio of deployments to production that leads to errors and successful deployments).

In the so-called 'DevOps transformation', InfoSec wasn't invited to the party. DevSecOps seeks to fix that and shift security left and embrace more modern patterns of GRC (governance, risk and complience).
