In the majority of phased enterprise Agile transformation programs, multi-speed IT is unavoidable. When I say multi-speed IT, I refer to a world where Agile and waterfall (legacy) initiatives co-exist and need to work hand in hand to deliver business outcomes.
In the last two decades, I had the opportunity to work with different enterprises in a variety of industries helping their transformation journey. Every organization is different even if they operate in the same industry. The business needs, enterprise portfolio, and IT landscape vary from one organization to another. The agenda of transformation also differs from one to another resulting in different approaches, initiatives, and timelines. No matter what the approach an organization adopts for transformation (change and growth), the journey from current state to future state requires innovative strategies to sustain business operations during the period of transformation.
