Overview
Is your organization planning to, or already underway with Agile development and / or DevOps? Does it seem like an excuse not to do architecture, analysis or design?. At a project level, you’re building things faster, but at an enterprise level, you don’t know if you’re building the right things, or instead, just going faster at creating redundancy and inconsistency. While speed is important, it is the right things at the right speed — the “speed of business change” — that is critical to success in the new digital economy. And, while DevOps is a critical component of any business or digital transformation initiative, it is not incompatible with, in fact it is better with, architecture and design.
BizOps extends the continuous feedback, faster cycle time, and tighter integration atmosphere, mindset, and process of Lean, Agile, and DevOps, “development-to-operations” upstream to include “business-to-development-to-operations” creating alignment with strategy while ensuring flexibility and agility. This includes a business driven “intentional architecture” and common vision that enable innovation, rapid change and emergent business design.
This workshop will mix presentations and simulation planning exercises to answer three key questions:
- How does BizOps improve delivery and speed of business change?
- How can you successfully integrate business and enterprise architecture into your DevOps and Agile environments?
- How do architecture, analysis, design, and development activities change to take advantage of the best of both worlds?
All public courses are available as in-house training. Contact us for more information.
