This document discusses organizational aspects for implementing DevOps and continuous delivery. It recommends focusing on competencies, agile decision making, understanding processes, delegation, resilience, and learning. Specifically, it suggests leveraging hidden team competencies, using the Cynefin framework for decisions, understanding workflow, allowing self-organizing teams, building resilience to frequent changes, and consolidating learning through retrospectives. The goal is to become reliable, predictable, and reduce time to market through both tools and organizational culture/structure.
