Moving to product-centric IT

IT moved from projects to products: long-lived teams aligned to business capabilities, funded for outcomes rather than one project at a time.

Practice

IT operating model

Where it reached
  • People
  • Process
  • Information
  • Technology

Where they started

IT was organized around projects, and the business needed more continuity than a project model gives.

What we did

  • Products defined. Identified the products and the business capabilities they serve.
  • Teams. Designed long-lived teams around them.
  • Funding. Moved funding from projects to products.
  • Transition. Took the organization through the change.

What changed

Teams that stay with what they build, business owners who know their team, and funding tied to outcomes rather than to project start and end dates.
