3. Conway’s Law is the Limit
Constrained to produce designs which are
copies of the Communication Structure
Clarity from Portfolio
Competence at Team/Program
Decentralizing the Decision Making

4. But, It’s not just IT
Involve Business
Profit is when there is
customer/(s) ”buying”
Market Connect is non-negotiable

5. And, Alignment is the Key
Align to a common mission
Co-ordinated PI planning across
Programs
Empower to make decisions
Minimum Constraints

6. Thinking like a Customer
Who is my Customer?
Customer base is US
System Development is spread
across
Description of the Customer

7. Quality is Built-in
Not Tested at the END
Engineering Practices
Right Metrics and Measurements
Dashboards Available transparently

8. Working with Value Stream
Concept to Cash
From We “Sell” Items
To We “Create” experience
