As startups disrupt every market and tech giants continue to pull further ahead of entrenched businesses, the majority of traditional enterprises are facing an existential crisis. Either they quickly become much better at software delivery and extract more business value from IT, or they risk becoming a digital relic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/blog.tasktop.com\/blog\/project-product-stories-scenius\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the age of digital disruption, survival is dependent on an organization&#x2019;s ability to deliver software products and digital experiences. This doesn&#x2019;t just mean delivering software faster &#x2013; it&#x2019;s about continuously delivering software that is reliable, predictable, flexible and, crucially, tied to business outcomes. And, last but least, it&#x2019;s about ensuring that the people who help plan, build and deliver the software are empowered and motivated.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#x201C;My goal for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itrevolution.com\/book\/project-to-product\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Project to Product<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to provide a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> common language and framework that helps us meet Gene Kim&#x2019;s goal of elevating our impact to improve the happiness and productivity of 40 million IT workers worldwide.&#x201D;&#xA0;<em>Mik Kersten, CEO and co-founder of Tasktop, author of&#xA0;<\/em>Project to Product<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a deeper cross-organizational understanding of software&#x2019;s value and role in helping the business to transform and thrive in the Age of Software, organizations can begin to address the chasm between IT and the business. By adopting product-centric thinking and focusing on how business value flows from customer request to operation, IT can transition from an outdated &#x201C;cost model&#x201D; to a profit centre. In other words, IT can become the heartbeat of the business in the same way that has enabled tech giants like Amazon and co to become market disruptors and leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Turning_Point\"><\/span><b>The Turning Point<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Project to Product<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> kicks off by outlining where we are in the current technology revolution. &#x201C;Each technological revolution has required existing businesses to master a new means of production, such as steam or the assembly line&#x201D; Mik expounds. &#x201C;For the digital revolution, the means of production is software.&#x201D; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing Carlota Perez&#x2019;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Technological-Revolutions-Financial-Capital-Dynamics\/dp\/1843763311\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Mik outlines the two key distinct periods in each revolutionary cycle.

The <a href=\"\/flow-metrics\">Value Stream Metrics<\/a> you can derive from this framework allow organizations to track the flow of business value in software delivery, in a way that both the software delivery organization and the business can understand.
