Operational efficiency
#1 IT Challenge in the 20th Century
Innovation & Growth
#1 IT Challenge in the 21st Century
Business Software is Supposed to Help Meet These Challenges
But...
The Way That Business Software is Designed, Developed & Delivered is
Fundamentally Broken
“In the last year, 70% of projects failed to meet deadlines, &
50% of projects failed to meet the needs of the business;
80% of the issues stem from poor requirements.”
Standish Group Chaos Report, 2007
#
Business Users Don’t Know What They Want Until They See & Interact With It
#
Business Users Can’t Interpret Text Specs., Use Cases, Screen Shots, etc.
Long cycle times
Late stage rework
Poor adoption
Risky global sourcing
Blown business plans
Strained relationships
The Impact is Dramatic
