An agile way of thinking and working makes it possible to deliver projects on time,
on budget and with optimal results.
“We don’t have enough impact on strategy. Business and IT are too far apart”
In many companies the gap between IT and business is still very wide. Consequently, many CIOs and IT managers feel they don’t have much influence on the strategic direction of the company, although they are increasingly expected to have an impact.
Agile can help IT departments to:
Align business and IT
Determine the right priorities together with the business
Change direction if the business strategy requires this
Communicate clearly with the business

“We are never able to deliver what the business wants on time, so we often miss deadlines”
We’ve heard it many times before: “IT finds it hard to meet the requirements of the business.” The business thinks IT is lagging behind. IT, on the other hand, believes the business doesn’t understand them. Applications always have to be delivered faster, and the scope is changing constantly as well.
Agile can help IT departments to:
Work faster without compromising on quality
Make development projects clear and manageable
Focus on what really matters and what’s relevant
Handle the demand for change in a flexible way

“Sometimes we have to deliver applications that we’re not entirely happy with”
The call for a faster time-to-market forces IT departments to deliver software that they haven’t been able to test adequately. Due to the lack of alignment between business and IT, the functionality that’s delivered will not always be relevant or necessary.
Agile can help IT departments to:
Focus on what’s actually relevant to the end customer
Avoid expensive rescue operations wherever possible
Reduce maintenance costs
Stop wasting money on features that nobody asked for
