Automate your entire job

Create self-service tools for any
touch points

Embed yourselves in development
sprints

Monitor everything!

Building inventory of unreleased code is
pointless

If you get ahead of the release then do nonfunctional dev to help remove / mitigate
bottlenecks

The feature isn’t done until it has been working
in prod forever

Recognise that your goal is to make the
company more money
