Accelerate

Accelerate is a treatise on the benefits of the adoption of modern software development practices in terms of the business outcomes of time to market, reliability of service and profitability. The work is an extension of the annual State of DevOps report, and the DevOps Scorecard from DevOps Research and Assessment LLC (DORA).
The authors were awarded the Shingo Publication Award, from the Shingo Institute program at Utah State University in 2019 and the work is now widely cited in DevOps book lists and discussions.
The company was bought by Google in 2018, however Forsgren has since moved to Github. The success of the book is also reflected in the report editions since, being rebranded as the Accelerate State of DevOps Report.
== Summary ==
The book draws on 6 years of survey data from firms around the world and is split into three parts. The first details the conclusions from the surveys along with the supporting data, while the second part discusses the approaches and constraints required to perform survey-data driven research. The final part is a case study of ING Bank.
=== Part 1 - Findings ===
The research outcomes shown are statistically significant correlations between a number of recent practices in software delivery and business outcomes for firms that adopt them. Typically the benefits are greater for those firms who apply more of the techniques discussed showing an additive effect. The firms discussed are clustered into cohorts in the results of low, medium, high and elite performers. Some key findings include positive correlations between:
* continuous delivery and organisational performance
* loosely-coupled software architecture (and matching organisational structure, per Conway's law), and continuous delivery performance
* autonomous teams (tool selection, roadmap control, lack of release gating) and organisational performance
The book details that four key metrics differentiate low,medium and high performers:
# lead time
# deployment frequency
# mean time to restore (MTTR)
# change fail percentage
These are increasingly being used and adopted as industry standards. 
=== Part 2 - Research process ===
The research techniques used and reasoning behind them are discussed in detail in the second part of the book. The survey's were largely conducted using Likert scale. 
=== Part 3 - Case study ===
The concluding section of the book covers a case study of the transformation of a number of teams at the bank ING. Overall the conclusion is to avoid slavishly following other firm's organisational structure and to find one that matches the culture and teams at one's own firm.
== Criticism ==
A heavy focus on the core metrics has been criticised in the past due to the potential to miss the underlying goal:Focusing on too many metrics. Recognized when the team ignores all metrics. Can be solved by reducing the number of metrics used.

Accounting

Accounting, which is sometimes known as accountancy, is the measurement, processing, and transmission of financial and non-financial information concerning economic organisations such as firms and corporations. Accounting is also often referred to as the profession of accountancy. Accounting, sometimes known as the "language of business," is the process of measuring the outcomes of an organization's economic operations and communicating those findings to various stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, managers, and regulators. Accountants are the professionals that work in the field of accounting. The phrases "financial reporting" and "accounting" are often interchanged with one another.
The discipline of accounting may be broken down into a several subfields, the most common of which are financial accounting, management accounting, tax accounting, and cost accounting. The preparation of financial statements and the reporting of an organization's financial information to external users of that information, such as investors, regulators, and suppliers, are the primary focuses of financial accounting. Financial accounting also focuses on the preparation of financial statements. Measurement, analysis, and reporting of information for the purpose of providing management with insight are the primary foci of management accounting. Bookkeeping refers to the process of documenting financial transactions so that summaries of those transactions may be provided in financial reports. Double-entry accounting is the most prevalent method of bookkeeping and is the most frequent kind of bookkeeping. Accounting functions and the actions that are connected to them are supported by the information systems used in accounting.
Throughout the course of human history, accounting has existed in a variety of guises and at varying degrees of complexity. Luca Pacioli, an Italian mathematician who was also a Franciscan friar, is generally credited with developing the double-entry accounting system that is still in use today. This method was established in mediaeval Europe, most specifically in Venice. Accounting companies, standard-setting organisations, and professional bodies are examples of the types of accounting organisations that exist in today's world to make the practise of accounting easier. Accounting companies often perform audits on financial statements, which are then compiled in line with generally accepted accounting standards and then reviewed by the auditing firms (GAAP). The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are determined by a variety of organisations that are responsible for the establishment of standards, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States and the Financial Reporting Council in the United Kingdom. As of the year 2012, "all major economies" have strategies in place to either embrace the International Financial Reporting Standards or move towards them (IFRS).

Accra

Accra is the biggest city in Ghana as well as the nation's capital. It is situated on the southern coast of the country at the Gulf of Guinea, which is a portion of the Atlantic Ocean. Accra has an area of 225.67 km2 (87.13 sq mi), and it is anticipated that the city would have a population of 4.2 million people in its metropolitan core by the year 2020. It is split into 12 local government districts, including 11 municipal districts and the Accra Metropolitan District, which is the only district inside the capital to be awarded city status. The Accra Metropolitan District is the only district within the capital to be granted city status. When people talk about "Accra," they are typically referring to the Accra Metropolitan Area, which is the capital of Ghana. However, the district that falls under the jurisdiction of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly is referred to as the "City of Accra," which differentiates it from the rest of the capital. On the other hand, the names "Accra" and "City of Accra" are often used synonymously in common speech.
Accra, formerly known as Jamestown, Usshertown, and Christiansborg, was the capital of the British Gold Coast from 1877 until 1957 and has since developed into a contemporary metropolitan area. Accra was created by the merger of three separate settlements that were located around three different forts: British Fort James, Dutch Fort Crêvecoeur (Ussher Fort), and Danish Fort Christiansborg. This is reflected in the architecture of the nation's capital, which spans the gamut from colonial structures dating back to the 19th century to ultra-modern high-rises and residential complexes.
Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), which is home to approximately 4 million people and ranks as Africa's thirteenth-largest metropolitan area, is anchored by the city of Accra, which serves as the economic and administrative hub of the Greater Accra Region. Accra also serves as the anchor of the larger Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA). Accra was given the designation of a "Gamma " level global metropolis by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network think tank in the year 2020. This indicates that the city's degree of worldwide impact and connection is increasing.
