Several studies point out the software architecture as a relevant factor for successfully achieving continuous delivery goals. This technical report presents the research protocol for a systematic literature review to explore the relationship between the software architecture and delivery capability. From goals to analysis, we describe the rationale and planned procedures to investigate this matter. } }
