Our pipeline at 8090 is full of CEOs going through this rude awakening. As usual, CIOs and CTOs spend money and adopt a set of capabilities with no real sense of ROI. Most of this is slop. Most of it is sold by the incumbent Software Industrial Complex. Because most CFOs and CEOs aren’t technical, they go along for the ride and report it back to their Boards that “We’re on it.” Over time, most of this effort turns out to be wasted, most of the new products don’t work and people scramble to find 10%+ productivity improvements to justify ongoing spend. In contrast, we’ve helped many of those same orgs see 50%+ improvements across their entire team by moving to Software Factory. It is exactly what you think it is. A regimented process where humans and agents/bots work elegantly together to make and ship code. Everything is measured. THERE IS NO HIDING. Killer engineers, Eng Managers and CTOs love it. As Boards and CEOs demand more accountability, Software Factories are the proper response for using AI but doing so cost effectively with strict reporting on ROIC. https://t.co/fkfTXgcI8c
