Most of the article is casting doubt on the idea that the "DORA researchers have indeed verified that this is the case, as they say." Pretty convincingly too, IMHO.
- kqr 4y agoAt first I was going to disagree with you, but the closer I think about it, you're right. My basis for disagreement was going to be that if "easy deployment" and "good economic performance" are correlated, the only sensical way that could happen is if easy deployment causes good economic performance. But then I realised there's a trivial way for the correlation to go the other way: if we assume easy deployments are ineffective, then only organisations with good economic performance can afford to spend time on easy deployments. (Of course there's always the confounding possibility. This can be analysed statistically (see Judea Perl) and it's not obvious that the authors have done this.) So yeah, you're right. It's not clear that the authors have done that.
