Continuous Delivery Framework

https://ik.imagekit.io/beyondpmf/frameworks/continuous-delivery-framework.png
The Continuous Delivery Framework primarily tackles friction related to software delivery speed, technical quality, and the implementation of software releases. It aims to improve the customer experience by enabling faster and more frequent releases with fewer issues.

The Continuous Delivery Framework is a set of practices and principles aimed at enabling software development teams to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably. This approach emphasizes the automation of software delivery processes to minimize manual work and ensure consistent deployments. By integrating regularly and automating the deployment process, teams can release updates with speed, less risk, and higher quality.
