A Seat at the Table – IT Leadership in the Age of Agility – Part 3 By Mark Schwartz “Courage, I say, is the value most needed by Agile IT leaders.” – Mark Schwartz Last Time in Part 2 Enterprise initial plan—they are the very substance of the project. The Agile way to deal with uncertainty is to create options and then “buy” information to more accurately assess probabilities. Traditional teams attempt in no sense a “final” operating capability. Quality It is difficult for IT to gain a seat at the table when IT is always failing, but on the other hand, an IT leader who is reacting to statistical noise—failures

A Nimble Approach to The Table Agile in One Paragraph: Agile thinking simply says that we should empower small teams to inspect Requirements Requirements simply don’t exist: A requirement is a constraint. It is a way of saying “create value this way, rather than other ways.” Really, a requirement is a constraint masquerading as a

That last piece of Hunter and Westerman’s decisions with correspondingly lower risk.  Lastly and critically, we can encourage the teams that create value for the company rather than standing in judgment of them.Characteristics of an Agile governance

Table 1 Traditional Versus Agile Considerations Consider Agile specific to Agile. Table 2 identifies recommended roles and responsibilities for members of an Agile team. Appendix B contains a more complete description of roles and responsibilities. Table 2 Agile Roles
