Over the last two decades, the IT profession has developed new ways of working that are intended to deliver better business value faster and at lower risk.

There are buzzwords associated with these techniques, of course, as with everything in IT—in this case, Agile, Lean, and DevOps are the terms to know. Unfortunately, these techniques are often presented as IT focused, with unclear benefits for the enterprise. They even seem to bring with them a danger that they might undermine the CFO’s or CEO’s ability to oversee IT-related initiatives.

As the CFO’s role continues to expand, new approaches to technology are becoming critical to delivering business value. This eBook shows how Agile, Lean, and DevOps streamline digital delivery, foster innovation, and make the enterprise nimbler. These practices could very well be the best thing that has happened to CFOs since the invention of the spreadsheet, helping them to increase returns, oversee investments, implement controls, gain transparency, provide better data to the enterprise, and, of course, manage costs.
