# What good looks like

* Technology is no longer an ancillary service — Instead, technology leaders have a prominent seat at the strategy table
* Technology is strategically focused on customers and end-to-end experiences
* Technical excellence is measured by lead time, release frequency, time-to-restore-service and change fail rate
* A continuous delivery pipeline is imperative and non-negotiable
* The five ideals of [DevOps](/the-better-way/glossary.md) are used to extend the delivery pipeline and increase the organizational flow of information and value
* Talent management is also imperative and non-negotiable, enabled by clear career paths and immersive learning environments
