Would you prefer to go fast, or to work with high quality? This has been seen as a tradeoff for a long time, but it is a mistake, certainly when it comes to software. There is no tradeoff between speed and quality, we can have both. In fact, it is better than that, if you want speed, build better software, if you want better software go faster.

Software speed, software development speed, matters, we want to create software quickly and efficiently, the assumption that this comes at the expense of highquality software or highend software development is simply a mistake.

In this episode, Dave Farley explores how we can move fast with high quality and how one reinforces the other. Speed and quality are both hallmarks of a Continuous Delivery approach and best practices for building great software.
