Download The Journey to Enterprise Agility: Systems Thinking and Organizational Legacy AudioBook Free
A guide to navigating the messiness of software development process change, coping with all the current legacy organizational elements, and concentrating on increasing business agility. There are several organization Agile frameworks - SAFe, NEXUS, LeSS, DAD, GROWS, Lean Business, Modern Agile, and many others. They are all pretty good. However they all miss one essential aspect: the way the heck do you really make it happen? They illustrate perfect little "places on the hill" nonetheless they don't give advice in regards to what to do when this program management office (PMO) splits down on your status reporting, or when enterprise architecture wants yet another overview of your design diagrams. The Trip to Enterprise Agility is about just that - the voyage. Plenty of things can decrease or stop an Agile transformation. But that doesn't signify these legacy groupings are evil or have even bad intentions. They have their careers to do. Your transformation effort must support their needs as well as your own. To do this in a structured way, we use concepts and guidelines from the world of systems pondering. And not the systems thinking about Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing, but another college called "gentle systems pondering" that is most helpful in dealing with problems of people and perspectives. Consider this booklet as a guidebook to working on all the complicated, untidy problems of changing software process within an organization. The Agile clubs will first need to adjust to the legacy groupings around them. And later, the legacy groupings can work on transforming themselves, morphing into something more nimble that can help to create business value faster and even more reliably than the old waterfall operations.
