Agile IT Organization Design

Thilko Richter // Wed Jan 20 2016

I came across the book “Agile IT organization design” by Sriram Narayan and I used some sketchnotes to make a personal documenation of the book.

Some takeaways

  • Prefer value over predictability!
  • Prefer adaptability over cost efficiency!
  • Software development is a design process and therefore hard to predict
  • A functional organization comes with a high rate of handovers
  • Create stable product teams instead of temporary project teams
  • Do not focus on separation of execution and planning, instead create cross functional teams that are autonomous and accountable for business results
