When technology teams find themselves unable to keep up with the pace of product development, they become the blockers of an organization. Ineffective technology leaders will pressure their developers to ship ever more work, causing developer burnout and software instability. By contrast, effective technology leaders will address the systematic process problems to allow their developers to provide the most business value with the least amount of pain.

Cycle Time is simply the time it takes from a developer to start working on a product feature to it being deployed in production.

The end result is that engineering teams can deliver business value sooner and react to changes in the market faster.
