How to Bake an Agile Cake?
Posted On October 6, 2017
Imagine you want to make a cake – You find a recipe for a delicious chocolate cake.
The recipe describes a process, which is a linear system to predict and therefore control the output.
A process or a linear system requires the environment (like an oven) to be deterministic (read: non-changeable), for the process to remain predictable.
If your oven warms 10°C more, than the oven the recipe was made with, then your cake will get burned unless you compensate for the 10°C.
The environment in IT is constantly changing with large amounts of simultaneous changes, and therefore the environment can’t be deterministic – No wonder processes are hard to maintain.
