We have some useful cases from recent projects that explicitly support your points and demonstrate that the change that you envisage is readily achievable and in some cases underway. In our experience, the difference starts with having an appropriate approach to software development, and most importantly, a business sponsor with sufficient vision and stature to drive the project over and around IT obstacles, and past senior business cynics who tend to waiver and fall in with the known (but manifestly failing) IT of yore. Such people are not common.<br />Regards,<br />Mark Norton, Idiom LimitedMark Nortonhttp://www.idiomsoftware.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826786244968404549.post-67350561239781087512012-08-21T18:21:48.462-07:002012-08-21T18:21:48.462-07:00Hi Anon,

We never lose sight of our overall system, so we shouldn't be developing multiple solutions to the same problems. The main point is to break up the large, long term problem into a number of small, short term problems so that we are continuously delivering value.Roger Sessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946430426943308823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826786244968404549.post-9096519386150366902012-08-21T16:24:57.380-07:002012-08-21T16:24:57.380-07:00Thanks again, Roger.

My only cncern with all of this agility is the eventual disconnectedness and lack of value of all these systems that get developed short-term.<br />What is the unifying principles and how do you avoid multiple solutions to the same problems?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826786244968404549.post-21488797237742409452012-08-18T19:50:15.452-07:002012-08-18T19:50:15.452-07:00Thank you Adam!
