We have published the first chapter of our Team Guide to Software Operability as a free chapter on Leanpub – download it now from the book website. In this first chapter we explain how to use what we call Run Book collaboration to increase operability and prevent operational issues.

Future chapters will cover additional material including:

• Deployment Verification Tests and Endpoint Healthchecks for rapid feedback on environments
• Run operational checks within a deployment pipeline to gain rapid feedback and increased collaboration
• Modern log aggregation and metrics for deep operational and product feature insights
• Information radiators and dashboards to drive effective behaviour and good psychological responses
