Runtime Adaptability

Agility is a Stable Requirement

Agile methods have delivered real value in accelerating software delivery, but they address only a fraction of what organisational agility actually requires — and even within IT, speed of delivery is just one dimension. This white paper argues for a broader framework built around three complementary strategies: doing less (leveraging packages, components, and reference models); doing things faster (Agile, DevOps, automation); and making more flexible things (runtime-adaptable and domain model-driven systems). It also tackles the challenge of achieving agility in organisations burdened with large legacy application landscapes.
