   3 corrections applied: Erik Nordstrom is a retail executive (not CTO), Jason Warner was not Nordstrom's VP of Engineering, and The Unicorn Project is a Gene Kim novel, not documentation of Nordstrom's transformation | Dan Cobley was a Barclays managing director (fintech), not CTO; the co-named individual and exact attribution are not verifiable | The 11.6-seconds deployment figure comes from Jon Jenkins at Velocity 2011, not from Werner Vogels

   Before

   led by CTO Erik Nordstrom and VP of Engineering Jason Warner, documented their DevOps journey ... The Unicorn Project ... CTO Dan Cobley and Distinguished Engineer Alun Thomas ... every 11.6 seconds on average, a figure cited by Werner Vogels

   After

   Nordstrom's technology team documented their DevOps journey through engineers such as Courtney Kissler and Dylan Smith ... Managing Director Dan Cobley documented specific outcomes in a 2018 Gartner presentation ... every 11.6 seconds on average, a figure presented by Jon Jenkins, then an Amazon director, at the Velocity 2011 conference

   Why: Verified all three corrections already applied correctly in article body and bibliography. FAQ and references section contain no mention of Nordstrom, Cobley, Warner, the Unicorn Project, or Vogels in connection with these claims. No further changes needed.
