As teams embrace the agile lifecycle, short feedback cycles become a crucial component that allows teams to effectively inspect, adapt and improve.

Continuous Integration is a process that supports the team and provides that critical feedback as they incrementally develop and deliver software. Continuous Integration is as much an attitude as it is a process that embodies the team values and helps to team to adhere to those values.
