In business, driving value is a key strategy and typically starts
at the top of an organization. In today's digital age, driving
software value is also an important, and often overlooked, key
strategy. Executives, and the corporate board, need to expect the
highest level of business value from the software the organization
is developing, buying, and selling. In today's digital
transformation marketplace, it is imperative that organizations
start driving business value from software development initiatives.
For many years, the cost of software development challenged
organizations with questions such as: How do we allocate software
development costs? Should these costs be considered an overhead
expense? Are we getting the most value possible for our investment?
A fundamental problem has been built into these questions - the
focus on cost. In almost every other part of the organization,
maximizing profit or, in the case of a not-for-profit, maximizing
the funds available, provides a clear focus with metrics to
determine success or failure. In theory, simply aligning software
spending with the maximizing profit goals should be sufficient to
avoid any questions about value for money. Unfortunately, this
alignment hasn't turned out to be so simple, and the questions
persist, particularly at the strategic or application portfolio
level. In this book, Michael D.S. Harris describes how a software
business value culture-one where all stakeholders, including
technology and business-have a clear understanding of the goals and
expected business value from software development. The book shows
readers how they can transform software development from a cost or
profit center to a business value center. Only a culture of
software as a value center enables an organization to constantly
maximize business value flow through software development. If your
organization is starting to ask how it can change software from a
cost-center to a value-center, this book is for you.
