About
CI/CD pipelines are the heartbeat of modern software delivery, but too often, we’re flying blind when it comes to understanding their performance. Engineers optimize for speed. Leaders ask what’s working and why. Meanwhile, the signal gets lost in the noise.
In this session, we’ll dig into how engineering intelligence tools help bridge that gap, turning raw pipeline data into meaningful, actionable insights. We’ll walk through metrics that expose the health of your delivery process, things like deployment frequency, change failure rate, and lead time, and show how they can guide both improvement and accountability.
This creates a feedback loop that helps technical teams get better and gives leaders confidence in the progress that delivers not just technical excellence but delivers business value.
We’ll also touch on the pitfalls: flaky builds, bottlenecks, unclear ownership. And we’ll show how the right insights help surface these issues early. Whether you’re hands-on with the pipeline or managing the outcomes, you’ll walk away with a clearer picture of what to measure and why it matters.
