Table 2 Needs for speed in software organizations

A

Lean (streamlined) product development and delivery flow end-to-end

• Stable software bases (e.g., manageable technical debt)

• Efficient development and delivery automation

B

Fast absorption of feedback and consequent adaptation

• Flexibility in software technical design (architecture) and management

• Organization design for rapid learning loops

C

Continuous sense-making and action in emergent environments with interactions of various objects and actors

• Sensing and responding with intelligent use of heterogeneous data from diverse sources

• Continuous software-oriented business processes (e.g., ecosystem and asset strategies)
