In order to be successful, IT needs to develop a roadmap for its agile development efforts. Here are four points that can help ease the creation process.
Decide What Is Necessary … And Start There
It's tempting to put the horse before the cart — to create an elaborate roadmap of where you'd like to go. But start simple. What is absolutely critical to both your IT infrastructure and your operations?
First, evaluate your current technology. What hardware and software needs upgrading and when? What organizational changes do you need to make? What's your disaster recovery plan in the event your servers fail or your data is compromised?
The above considerations should be your first line of defense; take care of what you have before you take the time and money to improve upon infrastructure and process.
