This Month in Cutter Benchmark Review

Creating and Managing the Agile Enterprise

Gabe Piccoli, Editor

The Business Value of Customer Data

by Gabriele Piccoli

This issue focuses on the management of the agile enterprise and on understanding how organizations can facilitate and foster agile practices through investments in IT infrastructure and technology practices. As such, the survey our contributors crafted tackles issues of strategy, relative positioning and competition, as well as technology infrastructure, software development methodologies, and IT architecture.
