Weapons-grade Agile

11 MAR 2011 | Posted in cost of agile, scaling agile | Author Jason Smith

There was an interesting article in Computing this week – it alleged (after an extensive survey of one CIO, probably in a bar shortly after he’d been fired) that Agile was hugely more expensive over a system’s lifetime than traditional ways of running projects. “I wish I’d never heard of Agile,” wailed the unfortunate CIO.

At IndigoBlue, in addition to our good-looks, generosity and sexual dynamism, we specialise in two things. The first is, crudely, weaponising Agile; making Agile suitable for large organisations and complex programmes. The second is applying its philosophy, techniques and processes to strategic business change; how to apply incremental change across an organisation.

Scaling Agile isn't just about concern with managing bigger teams. It's also about longer term governance and management of the broader programme.
