The interesting piece from pens of Will Poindexter and Steve Berez about addressing architectural rigidity, closing talent gaps, and adopting a product mindset in order to realize Agile’s power. Agility is critical for companies trying to keep up with customer expectations and emerging business trends.
In most companies, the applications that engage with customers and run the business were developed before modern architectural approaches took root.
To have a truly effective digital organization, companies have to fix the speed bumps that slow down the rapid progress of agile software development. Three impediments in particular work against agile in most organizations:
- Rigid architecture
- Poor talent management, and
- Lack of a product mindset

- Wrap and trap
- Re-architect or refactor
- Replace
