Excellent! Halfway there now. Keep going and stay focused, and you’ll soon find out how your company is doing.
The following questions are about your infrastructure, i.e. the information technology (IT) you have to support the organization’s processes, and how it is integrated into the offering.
Many organizations outsource a lot of their technical development. However, the questions below should be answered whether this is done in-house or externally.
Which statement best matches your organization?
We have no mapping or plan for our infrastructure
We have mapped our existing infrastructure but have no plan for its development
We have not mapped our existing infrastructure but we have a plan for its development
We have mapped our existing infrastructure and we have a plan for its development
Knowing when to develop in-house and when to bring in an external solution is important in finding the right balance between flexibility, performance and cost. Which statement best matches your organization?
We don’t know when to build in-house and when to source a solution externally
We know when to build in-house and when to source externally, but we don’t have a good balance at present
We know when to build in-house and when to source externally, and we have a good balance at present
Which statement best matches your organization?
Our infrastructure is not module-based, and it is hard for external systems to communicate with ours
Our infrastructure is module-based, but it is hard for external systems to communicate with ours
Our infrastructure is module-based, and external systems can easily communicate with ours (open APIs)
In modular infrastructure, individual components may be replaced without major impact on other parts of the infrastructure. Different components are communicating via APIs. Watch the video on how APIs work.
An open API provides an external developer with programmatic access to build services that interacts with your software application. Got it? If not, watch the video and let us explain it in really easy terms.
Which statement best matches your organization?
Work in an agile manner, i.e. have flexibility and be fast moving. This is necessary as it is next to impossible to predict where the market is heading. Long-term plans may have to be replaced, or at least be realigned with new insight that we gain along the way. The foundation for the Agile Manifesto was laid out in 2001. The picture shows a simple Kanban board.
