Executive Summary

We're reading a lot these days about the poor economy and falling stock markets. These tough times can force organizations to make drastic changes in the form of budget cuts, office closings, and staff reductions. At the same time, organizations need to deliver more value to win the war on the tough economy. And all of these changes ultimately affect application development leaders, who are faced with having to deliver more business value with fewer staff and budget resources. But app dev leaders can overcome these challenges by taking a direct and strategic approach to: 1) proactively managing their team's skills and the organization's demand for them; 2) streamlining processes by incorporating and adapting lean and Agile concepts; and 3) sharply focusing staff and budget resources to deliver the highest business value in the shortest time.
