This document discusses how IT agility can help businesses adapt to an uncertain environment characterized by changing customer habits, regulations, and markets. It argues that IT was traditionally designed to support predictability but now must support uncertainty through traits like adapting rather than planning and delivering working software quickly through prototyping and feedback. The document presents evidence that agile IT approaches provide benefits like increased business value, adaptability, and reduced risk compared to traditional methods. It provides examples of how companies can transition to more agile practices and discusses People10's role in helping businesses achieve IT agility.
