Importance of Balancing Speed with Quality
Speed to delivery in IT is crucial for providing value to stakeholders, but it's equally important to maintain quality practices. Rushing processes can lead to poor outcomes like defects in production, inadequate testing, and lack of stakeholder involvement. There should be a balance between speed and quality to ensure that the value delivered is sustainable over time, rather than just focusing on quick delivery without considering long-term effectiveness.
Value of New Services Over Time
True value in IT services and products is not just achieved at the moment of go-live but is an ongoing process. Similar to unwrapping a Christmas present, the initial excitement of launch is just the beginning of value creation. The ultimate measure of value is how well the service or product helps stakeholders perform their tasks efficiently over time, reflecting the long-term impact and effectiveness of the delivery.
