Sandeep Hublikar, Shrikanth Hampiholi · Lecture notes in business information processing · 2016
Organizations take up agile transformation as silver bullet for all their business problems, but the fact is transformation journey is an eye opener to discover the real problems which were previously unnoticed. The authors were part of such a journey. It’s easy to reap the obvious benefits of agile, but difficult to sustain and solve systemic obstacles like long build time, complex code base and legacy architecture that become a way of life over a long period of time. Here we describe the challenges we faced in sustaining our transformation beyond early victories and our efforts towards identifying and solving systemic obstacles across the organization by setting up an effective CI environment and addressing top people issues.
