A speaker from a Fortune 500 company confirmed today a recent observation and a repeating theme from the Agile Readiness Assessment I am currently conducting with a Federal client: nature doesn’t keep any voids.
If the IT organization doesn’t meet the business demand for agility, speed of delivery and customer delight – Business goes around and circumvents IT with all of its well-designed and good-intention (waterfall) processes.
As IT leaders, we need to lead the change to Lean and Agile, or we will be blown off by the change.
