Rethinking the development process
- 1. IT Governance RETHINKING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
- 3. Development “the change needed to improve a service by innovating*” Idea! Problem! Realised Benef Innovation Improvement *innovation = the use of a new idea or method.
- 4. Development in the Large: Solutions and Services not (just) Software • technology demonstration, advocacy and training • improving processes, procedures and standards • bulk data transformation • automating a regular task • configuring a system • coding or installing software • experimenting with technology capabilities
- 5. Influencers: Methodology Theory and Practice
- 7. Principle: Elastic Governance. A single model; shared standards; multiple patterns. Adapt the model to fit the work. Plan and measure work at the highest level possible to complete the right work to the required level of quality.
- 8. Principle: Embedded Governance Governance is about guidance not control. Make it harder to avoid procedures, guidelines and standards than it is to use them. Encourage innovators without compromising service reliability or user experience. Coach and advise.

- REFERENCE TEXTCoding the Architecture by Simon Brown: http://www.codingthearchitecture.com/pages/book/just-enough-architecture.html“At one end of the scale you have waterfall that, in it's typical form, suggests big design up front. And at the other end you have the agile methods that, on the face of it, shy away from doing architecture. At this point it's worth saying that this isn't actually true. Agile doesn't say "don't do architecture", just as it doesn't say "don't produce any documentation". Agile is about sufficiency, moving fast, embracing change and delivering value. But since agile methods and proponents don't put much emphasis on the architectural aspects of agile projects, many people have misinterpreted this to mean "agile says don't do any architecture".Sitting between the ends of the scale is the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Many RUP implementations are heavyweight monsters that have more in common with waterfall than they do with other iterative and incremental methods, but RUP can be scaled down to exhibit characteristics that let it take the centre ground on the scale. At its heart, RUP is a risk-driven methodology that basically says, "gather the majority of the key requirements, get the risky stuff out of the way, then iterate and increment". Done right, RUP projects can have a nice balance of up front design and evolutionary architecture.”

Design Thinking by NitjyotSaroan (http://blog.emerson.edu/integrated_marketing_communication/2009/10/design-design-thinking.html)“Design thinking can be described as a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.”

- How to we make governance processes simple, easy to understand and easy to use?
