By Keanen Wold, Levi Geinert, Shaun Norris, Charles Betz, Beth Dumke, Sam Guckenheimer, Troy Magennis

Update Your Funding Process for Agile, Lean and DevOps

Balancing the high-risk investment of innovation with traditional business-as-usual tasks has always been tricky for corporations.

This 2020 DevOps Enterprise Forum paper outlines the conflict between how traditional funding processes handle fiduciary risks and what Agile and DevOps teams need to perform well.
