    Designing for successful operations is the major focus of my book "Release It!" I'm thrilled to see more people paying attention to the interdependencies between design, development, and operations. Michael T.

    Thank you for sharing the information in your presentation. Many of the topics you discussed are regularly ignored, downplayed, or marginalized completely by companies and their executives. This is to the detriment of business, development, and operational effectiveness everywhere. Also, I don't think you have to be at EBay scale to gain a great deal of benefit from implementation of many of the concepts touched on in this presentation. Great stuff! Best Regards, Kent Langley www.productionscale.com
