And now, ironically, the company's board is considering just that.

Enterprise Agile: extending the agile process outside development
Explore The Enterprise Architect
I previously wrote about Enterprise Agile, not because I just want to put the "enterprise" moniker in front of everything, but because I think there are some fundamental challenges in moving to agile software development practices within enterprises, as opposed to startups. This follow-up post is triggered by the following comment on my previous article about this subject: Where we are struggling as an organization is the whole enterprise adopting agile.

Services hates the rapid iterations since they have a waterfall mindset where you accept a new release every 6 months and spent time chewing on it. I would love some pointers on resources that help move these parts of the value chain to agile.

Analyzing the Human Procurement Capital: SAP and Ariba
In reading how the business and trade press has covered the SAP bid for Ariba, one thing we've read over and over is the perception that the deal is a win to bring more "cloud talent" into SAP. We think this is rubbish. What's needed inside SAP is not more cloud talent (and the Ariba team comes from enterprise software DNA), at least in the procurement space. What's needed is a network and procurement-savvy mindset that can expand on the capabilities of their own team members.
