Crossing the chasm: From agile to business agility

‘Business Agility’ is all the rage these days, proclaimed by its proponents as the next big thing in Agile.

It’s not surprising since implementing Agile successfully requires a change at almost every level of an organization. The irony is that many of the same mistakes made by software development orgs in the name of agility are being repeated by their present-day counterparts.

The chasm between software and business must be bridged if an organization is to have any hope of deploying business agility. This talk explores how OpenX is trying to cross the chasm.
