Firms are often torn between forces driving application change or transformation and the overarching desire for cost management. At the same time, they often struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. Some of the root causes of delays and budget increases are beyond the control of application planners, but a lack of appropriate preparation and planning is often one of the main reasons for project failure. Similar to moving from waterfall to agile delivery, planning ("road mapping") must embrace a more agile approach to remain relevant, or be doomed to casting plans in stone that quickly crumble.
This webinar summarizes the groundwork for starting application development and delivery (AD&D) initiatives and defines a new approach to agile road mapping. AD&D Professionals responsible for road mapping no longer have the luxury of certainty about long-term business strategy when they make their plans. Digital disruption has changed the requirements of customers, the nature and intensity of competition, and the mandatory distinctive competencies for almost all of Forrester's clients.
This webinar shows AD&D Professionals how to apply design thinking and agile methodology to cope with the increasingly volatile and demanding context for application portfolio road mapping.
