Hi Jeff!

If it is 'lead time', it is less than one hour. I would say less than one day because sometimes the delivery pipeline could take one hour, but the right data from the study is that: 'less than one hour'. It is really surprising. It also seems that there is a gap between high and low performers. But in my experience, once the team has been able to manage to change the organization to have a lead time below one week, it quickly accelerates until it reaches a couple of hours. I guess that is the reason for the gap.

Furthermore, if you have been able to fully adopt Continuous Delivery successfully —and consequently Trunk Development—, each developer should be delivering something every 15 minutes.

So, although the study says nothing about this gap, I believe that there might be a threshold in which the development changes... yet, there is something odd here.

Thanks for making me notice, I will research further!

PS If it is 'MTTR'... it is just rolling back :-)
