Forsgren and her colleagues have been doing research into DevOps and its effects on organizational performance. This is a much more rigorous account than is usual in this space, so I believe it is a must read for everyone in software.
Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and Devops: Building and Scaling High Performing Teams (Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim)
Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations" by Dr Nicole Forsgren brings a long research on how to organize teams for success.
'Accelerate: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations' by Nicole Forsgren (Github VP), Jez Humble and Gene Kim is a must-read.
(Just Culture and Accelerate, in particular, are so great I think I'm going to consider adding them to my list as well.)
