\"How<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

A lot rests on the shoulders of CIOs and other IT leaders at traditional businesses. They face an almost daily battle against digital disruption. With startups and other digital-native companies gobbling up market share through software-driven products and services, one inalienable truth has become clear: software is responsible for a greater and greater share of the business value that they’re providing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet for many years, software delivery has been a thorn in the side of most CIOs. As Tasktop’s Naomi Lurie <\/span>writes in her byline for <\/span>Hacker Noon<\/span><\/i><\/a>, “the issues plaguing software delivery may feel insurmountable. Despite a lot of investment in accelerating and scaling software delivery, internal customers still complain IT is not delivering value fast enough, compared to the nimble newcomers nipping at their heels.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Software delivery is sadly viewed a liability, not an asset. But what if there was way to turn software delivery into strength? <\/span><\/p>\n

CIOs can be excused for responding to that promise with an eye roll and sarcastic thumbs-up. <\/span>After all, that’s probably what you thought would happen when you invested heavily in Agile, DevOps, tooling and specialist personnel. I know I di<\/span>d. As you will see in my story below, I was at the end of my rope:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But fear not, it’s not all doom and gloom – as <\/span>Naomi points out her article<\/span><\/a>, there are three key ways to address the issues<\/strong> derailing your software delivery:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Product-oriented thinking<\/li>\n
  2. A connected value stream network<\/li>\n
  3. A new managerial framework devised for software delivery<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Read on<\/span><\/a> to learn how you can transform the way your organization perceives and delivers software to improve the time to value of your products and galvanize your business.<\/span><\/p>\n
