To the extent that an organisation has difficulties delivering software and is dysfunctional at delivering software that's the degree of change that is has to go through to start delivering software regularly with improved ROI, with improved quality, with improved joy. Sometimes that transition is massive, painful and difficult. Sometimes it's relatively simple.
Either way an organisation will only go through it if it has commitment to being a world class, high quality software organisation, and is adequate to go through the degree of pain and change necessary. Of all organisations that attempt to become a world class software organisation only 1/3 will make it. More.
