Cloud technology - just like agility - acts as an enabler for digital transformation. Agile IT models complement the challenges of traditional IT - consisting of service continuity, cost optimisation and efficiency - with flexibility, proactivity and continuous innovation.
One of the basic requirements for an agile organisation is the establishment of cross-functional teams with a maximum of 8 people. This is only possible if hierarchical structures are replaced by self-organised and flat structures. In contrast to the view of a traditional organisation as a machine, the agile organisation should be understood as a living organism. The new organisation benefits from flexible resource allocation, end-to-end accountability and better focus.
