Abstract

Longer Lead times in Devops process has shown to be a challenge to manage and costly for organizations if unplanned for long-term (longer than 1 month) agile projects. According to [11], typical agile lead duration varies between from one to four weeks. Therefore, agile by design is supposed to be short. However, if agile exceeds the threshold of more than one month, then organization needs to introduce ongoing/controlling mechanism to bring it back to be short again. The aim of this paper is to outline how such ongoing planning/controlling mechanism can be developed for long-term agile projects. In recent years, almost 50% of organization has suffered economical losses [12] and teams burn-out due long-term agile projects. Therefore, it is key to understand the core agile process for Digital Transformation; Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) to help manage the key challenges which this paper outlines in three sub-sections. Also, this paper demonstrates how innovation process in agile should help organization to excel as successful organizations like in [3] have done.
