develop the skills needed to become a proficient agile business analyst.
the productivity of software delivery at enterprise organizations falls woefully behind that of the tech giants, and the digital transformations that should be turning the tide are failing to deliver business results. —mik kersten, project to product [1] business agility everything moves fast in the digital age. customer desires, competitive threats, technology choices, business expectations, revenue opportunities, and workforce demands now happen at blistering speeds. today, achieving customer delight at the speed of the market requires validating innovations with customers and then 'pivoting without mercy or guilt' when the hypothesis needs to change. moreover, significant technological advances are unlocking new ways to create this value. for example, ai, big data, cloud, and devops enable enterprises to expand their product lines, modernize their existing offerings, scale to mass markets, make better fact and insight-based decisions, and streamline solution development. competing in the age of software in her book technological revolutions and financial capital, carlota perez [2] explains the evolution of business, society, and financial cycles based on her analysis of five significant technological revolutions over the past three centuries. her research begins with the industrial revolution, leading to the age of steam and railways, the age of steel and heavy engineering, and the present age of software and digital, as illustrated in figure 1. perez concludes that these revolutions lead to massive social change, market disruption, and an all-new economic order. indeed, these are world-shaking disruptions that typically occur once in a generation. we are in the midst of one of those ages now, the deployment period of the age of software and digital. this period is when every business is a software business. put simply, competing in this age requires large-scale software and system development capability that enables true business agility. why organizations struggle to achieve business agility the organizations we created in the 20th century were designed much more for reliability and efficiency than for agility and speed. — john p. kotter, accelerate [3] most leaders in traditional organizations are aware of the digital disruption threat, yet many fail to transition to take their place in the next economy [4]. the question is, why? organizations start as a fast adaptive network as an organizational researcher and author, john kotter illustrates in his book, accelerate: building strategic agility for a faster-moving world, successful enterprises don't start as large and cumbersome. instead, they typically began as a fast-moving, adaptive network of motivated individuals focused on responding to the customer and the new business opportunity. roles and reporting relationships are fluid, and people collaborate organically to identify customer needs, explore potential solutions, and deliver value in any way they can. in other words, it's an adaptive 'entrepreneurial network' of people working to leverage an opportunity (figure 2). hierarchy forms, then grows and grows as the enterprise succeeds, it naturally wants to expand on its success and grow. this growth means that individual responsibilities must become clearer. as a result, the enterprise hires specialists to add expertise, creating new functional areas. policies and procedures ensure legal adherence and compliance, driving repeatable, cost-efficient operations. the business starts to organize functionally to scale, causing silos to form. meanwhile, operating in parallel, the network continues to seek new opportunities to deliver value (figure 3). achieving larger economies of scale requires the hierarchy to grow. and it grows until it conflicts with the entrepreneurial network. the hierarchy and adaptive network collide eventually, the hierarchy collides with the faster-moving, more adaptive network. the result? the adaptive network gets crushed. the focus on the customer is often one of the main casualties (figure 4.) without the entrepreneurial network, the organization lacks the agility to respond when the customer needs shift dramatically or when a disruptive technology or competitor emerges. an urgent crisis erupts, and the company's survival is now at stake. however, the organizational hierarchies built over the last fifty years have provided time-tested structures, practices, and policies. they support the recruiting, retention, and growth of thousands of employees across the globe. simply put, they are still needed. in addressing this dilemma, kotter points out, "the solution is not to trash what we know and start over but instead to reintroduce a more agile, network-like structure" that operates in concert with the hierarchy to create what he calls a 'dual operating system.' this system, illustrated in figure 5 and described in the following section, allows companies to capitalize on rapid-fire strategic challenges and retain their stability [3]. the solution: safe is the second operating system the existing hierarchy, people, and management still have a purpose and largely remain in place. however, safe creates a second virtual operating system organized around development value streams instead of functional silos (or departments) to form the entrepreneurial network. each development value stream creates one or more agile release trains (arts) with a shared business and technology mission. each art plans, commits, develops, and deploys together. they are an integral part of the entrepreneurial network that develops innovative products (solutions and services). although the management reporting structure in the hierarchy may remain largely the same, the teams in an art are self-organizing and self-managing, and they no longer need daily task direction. arts are virtual organizations with the people needed to define, deliver, and operate the solution. this new virtual organization breaks down the traditional functional silos that inhibit flow and innovation. by organizing the second operating system around value streams instead of departments, safe offers a way for organizations to focus on customers, products, innovation, and growth in harmony with their existing hierarchical structure. moreover, this operating system is flexible. it is built on time-tested lean-agile safe practices. it can organize and quickly reorganize without completely disrupting the existing hierarchy, as illustrated in figure 5. that's what business agility demands. responding to market changes and emerging opportunities is vital to surviving in the digital age, where disruption is the norm rather than the exception. technological advances have drastically shifted the dynamics of the competitive game by opening up various ways to win in the market. the ability to respond quickly with innovative business solutions—what we call business agility—is the deciding factor between success and failure. therefore, enabling business agility is a mission-critical goal for every organizational leader. an organization must first understand and then apply the safe business agility value stream (bavs) to deliver value faster to keep today's customers and win new ones. the bavs helps organizations visualize the steps and implement the safe core competencies needed to move from identifying an opportunity to delivering customer value in the shortest possible time. the following sections describe the bavs in greater detail. core competencies of business agility
business and technology describes the patterns that may be applied to realize business agility by applying safe principles and practices across the enterprise.
