Dr. Nicole Forsgren, VP of Research and Strategy at GitHub and author of "Accelerate:  a book on the Science of Lean Software and DevOps"  shares her journey from NLP and ethnographies of sys admins to DevOps and her studies of Team Performance. 

In the Q&A, she discusses how tradeoffs between speed and stability are not made by either high or low performing teams, but high performing teams do well with both. She also discusses impact of culture on DevOps, how high performing teams may not be as susceptible to burnout and how to think about individual developer productivity.   

This Q&A was recorded live as part of a workshop on Continuous Software Engineering,  at a Senior Topics Course in Empirical Software Engineering at the University of Victoria on Oct 16th, 2020.  In preparation for today's workshop on continuous software engineering we read/watched materials posted  on this page: https://github.com/margaretstorey/EmseUvic2020/blob/master/resources/contSE.md
