Well delve into the many aspects of what they did to complete this evolution covering topics such as how they realized there was a problem to solve, how they set about preparing for and implementing continuous delivery and DevOps and what tools, techniques and approaches they used along the way some technical and some not so. If you work within an organization that delivers software, you will be able to plot where you are on the evolutionary scale, understand where you need to do to be more effective, cherry pick the tools, techniques and approaches that work for you and realize the best of both worlds.

Paul Swartout has spent over 20 years working in IT. Starting out as a Junior Developer within a small software house, Paul has filled a number of roles over the years including Software Engineer, System Administrator, Project Manager, Program Manager, Operations Manager, and Software Development Manager. He has worked across a number of different industries and sectorsfrom supply chain, through manufacturing, education, and retail to entertainmentand within organizations of various sizes from start-ups to multi-national corporates.
Paul is passionate about software and how it is delivered. Since first encountering "agile" almost a decade ago he has been committed to the adoption and implementation of agile techniques and approaches to improve efficiency and output for software development teams.
Until very recently Paul headed up the team responsible for delivering continuous delivery solutions into the Nokia Entertainment business. Paul and his team spent the best part of a year changing the default ways of working and driving the adoption of CD and DevOps as the de facto mode of delivery for Nokia Entertainment products.
Paul lives in a seaside town in the southwest of the UK with his wife, daughters, and two small yapping things.
Paul is a software development manager at Nokia and is based within the Nokia entertainment team in Bristol in the UK. The entertainment team is responsible for designing, building, and running the entertainment services and solutions for Nokia customers around the globe. These products include Nokia Music, Nokia Reading, and Nokia TV.
Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to my darling wife Jane, who has had to put up with a husband who for the past few months has done little more than spend every spare moment staring at a computer screen typing lots of thingswhich eventually turned into this book.
Thank you to my daughter Harriet for her proof reading skillsI knew that education would come in handy one day.
Next is my good friend and colleague John Clapham whose level headed approach and consistent vision helped to make the implementation of CD and DevOps within Nokia entertainment the success it was. Without that success there would be little to write about.
I would also like to thank Deon Fourieone of the best bosses out thereand my CD team for their faith and commitment to delivering the CD and DevOps vision. Without you this body of work would be rather dry and many pages lighter.
A big thank you to John Fisher for allowing me to include his transition curve within the book and to Patrick Debois for his support and never ending enthusiasm and drive to bring DevOps to the masses.
