Cloud app cycle times are rapid, but organizational process logjams can create problems. Savvy organizations manage change effectively, and they optimize workflow to clear bottlenecks and capture value.
Authors of the book Metrics for Business Decisions - Mattia Battiston and Chris Young - were interviewed by Mike Kavis of Deloitte for the OnCloud podcast.
Cloud app delivery runs on tight timelines. Unfortunately, other organizational processes, like procurement or legal, often create workflow bottlenecks that hobble the software delivery process. In this podcast, Mike Kavis and guests, Chris Young and Mattia Battiston, discuss teams, workflow, and value delivery. Their advice: IT and business must work collaboratively to manage change, identify and clear bottlenecks, and understand where value lies to optimize workflow.
By working across tech and business, I think you build that shared understanding, you create that empathy, and that helps you kind of work better.
