This white paper describes typical reactions to falling budgets and common problems they cause. It then recommends an alternative for achieving cost-savings and improved prioritization using an Agile framework for effective portfolio management. The answer is to adopt Lean thinking and Agile software development practices in order to run IT as an Agile portfolio. Industry studies of the ROI of Agile projects are now widespread and prove Agile practices deliver a tremendously positive impact on time-to-market, productivity, customer satisfaction, and the quality of products delivered. With a systematic focus on delivering value and removing waste, Agile is especially compelling in tough financial times. The question becomes: “Can we afford NOT to implement Agile now?” Download this white paper now. |
