Last week I was lucky to be copied in to an email to the exec board of my company.
The email was written by the CIO advertising some of the success of our recent deployment automation efforts.
On a very basic level it compares human effort vs. automated effort and therefore cost and time.

- How do we know if we are working on the right area's if we aren't measuring it?
- How do we influence other teams to do more "DevOpsy" things if we can demonstrate the benefit?
