Examples of IT Waste
15
● Multiple Service Desks all with their own tools and separate processes● Massive amounts of wasted server capacity due to a lack of Capacity and Demand
Management● Redundant and duplicate IT Management tools being purchased by various IT departments
in the same organization● Redundant IT groups and stealth data centers being built by “independent” parts of the
business● A willingness to solve the same Incidents 1000s of times without looking at the root of the
problem● Multiple Change Management processes due to political boundaries● Losing track of tens of thousands of dollars of IT assets due to poor tracking controls and
inventory processes● Supplier contracts expiring without knowledge until an Incident occurs● A willingness to supply multiple/duplicate versions of the same services● The loss of massive amounts of business productivity due to Incident tickets which disappear
into the IT back office black hole until someone shouts loudly enough● The total lack of ability to provide visibility into the cost of an IT service● The list goes on...
Proactive Problem Solving
Reactive vs. Proactive Problem Solving
Lean is not just about hunting down waste and reacting to the crisis of the day. Its goal is to move an organization to a desired state through relentless
problem solving and incremental improvement.

What Is Agile?
17
● Agile (adjective) ○ Able to move quickly and easily; well-coordinated ○ Able to think and understand quickly; able to solve problems and have new ideas
● Agile enterprise – a fast moving, flexible and robust company capable of rapid response to unexpected challenges, events and opportunities
● Agile software development – a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams
Agile software development methods deliver working software in smaller and more frequent increments.
Agile Variation

There are many different Agile
Variations
Agile Vs. Waterfall
It’s an ongoing debate… which methodology for managing software design and development projects is better, agile or waterfall?
Agile● Iterative
● Incremental
● Decisions are made based on observation and experimentation rather than on detailed upfront planning
Waterfall● Linear
● Sequential
● Phased approach
● Move to next phase only when previous phase is complete
