Today, every corporation is going through a digital transformation, reshaping itself in order to transition into an operation ready to flourish in the emerging data-driven future. But a digital transformation comes with plenty of very specific challenges. Choosing the right technology, creating and deploying the proper architecture for the technology stack, dealing with the security challenges and legislative requirements, setting up comprehensive change management programs to guide the organization through this existential change, and much more.
One very crucial key to success is also the methodology applied to execute and manage the typical projects for digital transformation. The nature of those projects demands an Agile approach. But making sure that an entire organization truly understands Agile and is also able to put it into practice, is not an easy journey.
