For the past 15 years, we have experienced a highly technology-rich period in the field of information technology. Recently, automation and service platforms have directly impacted how we build our software and our daily lives as IT professionals.<br>Let&#8217;s take a broader view and ask why our IT departments are taking these directions, their trajectories, and how to improve their approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-it-department-partner-or-cost-center\">The IT Department: Partner or Cost Center?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the industry, the battleground has shifted to producing value-added digital services for customers. All companies are faced with the innovator&#8217;s dilemma* and must find solutions to inject digital capabilities into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Their customer relationships: Uber &amp; Airbnb are well-known examples of pioneers in digitalizing customer relationships and transforming how we consume services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their production chains: Veolia produces connected valves to improve water distribution efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, paradoxically, in this context where digital seems to be the gold of the century, IT departments still need to be seen as business partners rather than cost centers. Why is that? To date, IT departments need help modernizing and adopting new emerging practices to accelerate software production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Original title: &#8220;The Innovator&#8217;s Dilemma&#8221; by Clayton Christensen: The innovator&#8217;s dilemma is simple: How can one risk abandoning a profitable status quo to create risky conditions and regain a future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"align wp-block-acf-quote\">\n\n\t\n\t<figure class=\"text-center\"><blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><svg width=\"49\" height=\"38\" viewBox=\"0 0 49 38\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M42.875 0C44.4995 0 46.0574 0.652728 47.206 1.81459C48.3547 2.97645 49 4.55228 49 6.1954V15.4885C49 17.1316 48.3547 18.7075 47.206 19.8693C46.0574 21.0312 44.4995 21.6839 42.875 21.6839H33.6875C33.6875 24.1486 34.6555 26.5123 36.3785 28.2551C38.1014 29.9979 40.4383 30.977 42.875 30.977H45.9375C46.7497 30.977 47.5287 31.3034 48.103 31.8843C48.6773 32.4652 49 33.2532 49 34.0747C49 34.8963 48.6773 35.6842 48.103 36.2651C47.5287 36.8461 46.7497 37.1724 45.9375 37.1724H42.875C38.8139 37.1724 34.9191 35.5406 32.0474 32.6359C29.1758 29.7313 27.5625 25.7917 27.5625 21.6839V6.1954C27.5625 4.55228 28.2078 2.97645 29.3565 1.81459C30.5051 0.652728 32.063 0 33.6875 0H42.875ZM15.3125 0C16.937 0 18.4949 0.652728 19.6435 1.81459C20.7922 2.97645 21.4375 4.55228 21.4375 6.1954V15.4885C21.4375 17.1316 20.7922 18.7075 19.6435 19.8693C18.4949 21.0312 16.937 21.6839 15.3125 21.6839H6.125C6.125 24.1486 7.09296 26.5123 8.81596 28.2551C10.5389 29.9979 12.8758 30.977 15.3125 30.977H18.375C19.1872 30.977 19.9662 31.3034 20.5405 31.8843C21.1148 32.4652 21.4375 33.2532 21.4375 34.0747C21.4375 34.8963 21.1148 35.6842 20.5405 36.2651C19.9662 36.8461 19.1872 37.1724 18.375 37.1724H15.3125C11.2514 37.1724 7.35658 35.5406 4.48493 32.6359C1.61328 29.7313 0 25.7917 0 21.6839V6.1954C0 4.55228 0.645313 2.97645 1.79397 1.81459C2.94263 0.652728 4.50055 0 6.125 0H15.3125Z\" fill=\"#3C3C3A\"\/>\n<\/svg><p>There has indeed been an adoption of buzzwords, but the fundamental concepts are applied with great freedom, diluted in a soft consensus.<\/p><\/blockquote><figcaption class=\"blockquote-footer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6fa7971b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-are-it-departments-transforming\">How are IT departments transforming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After massive ERP installations in companies and the heaviness of their operations, IT departments turned a few years ago to a promising trio: Agile, DevOps, and cloud, to transform themselves. Experiments occurred, and we all experienced a Scaling Agile program \u00e0 la Spotify, or SAFE (Scaled Agile Framework), full end-to-end industrialization, or Move2Cloud. A lot of effort was spent, with mixed results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The observation is that buzzwords have indeed been adopted, but the fundamental concepts are applied with great freedom, diluted in a soft consensus, far from the original spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Agile means having post-it notes on a wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DevOps has become a job title.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloud refers to virtual machines and storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aware that modernization is stalling, IT departments have a human and understandable reflex to organize transformation plans and reorganizations. Unfortunately, these actions are often too disconnected from operational realities and are only sometimes adequately embodied. This reinforces the feeling of deviated concepts. This observation is all the more painful for those involved in projects at the intersection of these worlds and constantly in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To illustrate the difficulties IT departments face in modernizing, here are two examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A framework from the book &#8220;Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations&#8221; to identify levels of performance in software production:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Devoteam_Revolve_reShape_1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19537\" style=\"width:918px;height:507px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evolution over time, highlighted in this grid from the Puppet State of DevOps Report 2021, clearly shows that adoption exists, but the generalization of practices has not taken place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Devoteam_Revolve_reShape_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19538\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trend of crystallizing the developer&#8217;s role as a superhero. The job description of a senior developer might look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mastery of intrinsic skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastery of market testing tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastery of deployment pipelines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building application infrastructure (IaC &#8211; Infrastructure as Code)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining operational conditions of existing applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing technical documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowledge of databases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a product vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leading application architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastery of business\/client logic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anticipating new technology cycles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastery of security risks and remediation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastery of technical architectures: Containers and serverless<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Escaping technical constraints<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It quickly becomes apparent that a developer can&#8217;t master all these topics, as they are too heterogeneous for the human brain and would require constantly changing contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agile, DevOps, and Cloud, these words now devoid of meaning, should not make us forget the importance of the role of IT departments in modernizing the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-there-an-alternative\">Is there an alternative?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will continue with my example of the role of the developer. As a DSI (IT department) Manager, what I want in terms of priorities for our developers is that they:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Master the business\/client logic (e.g., understand how a bank transfer works)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master their intrinsic skills (e.g., master Java classes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master support skills, which include everything else (e.g., master IaC &#8211; Infrastructure as Code)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that this logic applies regardless of their role in the company. The support skills of developers are intrinsic skills for CI\/CD (Continuous Integration\/Continuous Deployment) teams or cloud teams, which, in turn, must master their client&#8217;s logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This example shows that specific teams&#8217; skills need to be externalized. Squads and cross-functional teams have their limitations. How can we externalize team skills without reducing the Time to Market (TTM)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must move away from a service desk model (where each team exposes its products as self-service) and limit collaboration between teams to what is necessary. This kind of collaboration is costly, not scalable, not repeatable, and should be punctual and limited in time; otherwise, changing the scope of teams is essential. I am convinced that modern organizations rely on teams with clearly defined scope, which expose their service &#8220;as-a-service.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each company has its methodology and its plan to &#8220;transform the IT department.&#8221; I have never encountered situations where imposed practices have resulted in adoption. The adoption of new practices happens in a bottom-up manner. They are acquired through projects built differently and adopted because they bring added value visibly and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-go-about-it\">How to go about it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far from offering a ready-made answer, I propose some avenues for reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advancing-by-maturity-level\">Advancing by maturity level:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To accelerate their modernization, IT departments must progress coherently on three maturity axes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Modernizing components on the technological axis:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Moving away from monolithic solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using new standard technologies from the market<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rethinking existing architectures to integrate managed services from a cloud platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modernizing team practices on the human axis:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Generalizing industrialization practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthening observability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Systematically measuring project progress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopting a product-oriented approach with infinite project life cycles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modernizing organizations on the &#8220;IT-as-a-Service&#8221; axis:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clarifying team boundaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposing IT department team services &#8220;As-a-Service.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fully-embracing-the-aws-amazon-web-services-platform\">Fully embracing the <a href=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/en-se\/amazon-web-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AWS<\/a> (Amazon Web Services) platform.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large-scale migration operations, long criticized by the community, can be excellent vectors of modernization, even in a program that sequences migration and modernization\u2014tools to modernize one&#8217;s infrastructure become immediately accessible. Migrating quickly allows for reaching the tipping point faster, accelerating the legitimacy of emerging practices around modern, scalable, and business-adapted architectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-up-approach\">Bottom-up approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our own experiences in industrialization and modernization have naturally led us to converge towards the capabilities proposed by the book &#8220;Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on research involving more than 2,000 organizations through 20,000 surveys, Accelerate proposes 24 best practices to accelerate software production in companies, distributed across five themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuous delivery capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Architecture capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product and process capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lean management and monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural capabilities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far from marketing terms, we return to the basics to align software production with business needs, improve interactions between teams while eliminating bottlenecks with self-service, and accelerate industrialization through best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-down-approach\">Top-down approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top management must be aligned, fully convinced, and embody this change. Employees don&#8217;t wake up in the morning for time-to-market or to enrich shareholders. However, pedagogical communication to explain how IT department actions improve the business gives meaning to employees&#8217; activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learning\">Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All employees must be acculturated and trained. Employees must adopt a posture of <a href=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/techradar-emerging-technologies-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continuous learning<\/a>. Analyzing more than 100 company transformations, Dr. John Kotter demonstrated that team adoption is essential in any transformation project. More concretely, for a change to occur, it is necessary to deploy iteratively, favoring collective intelligence until reaching the &#8220;tipping point&#8221; of 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a study by Penn&#8217;s Damon Centola, about 25% of people must take a position before a large-scale social change occurs. These acculturation programs must mix the three recognized forms of learning (formal, social, and experiential) to maximize retention and proliferation of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-resilience\">Resilience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The COVID crisis has led many employees to disengage or resign because their jobs seemed meaningless. However, this crisis has also been a wake-up call for companies, pushing them to digitize, adopt remote work, and question rigid and unfulfilling organizational models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4
