The term Development Operations (DevOps) has been on the lips of Digital Officers and CIOs for the past three years. This team of SCRUM crazy tech wizards has been charged with driving digital transformation project forward in double quick time. But, according to Gartner, that world is about to change\u2014and 2021 is likely to be the year it happens.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-21px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-20px|||||”]

Customers are ever more online, remote, discerning, and seeking personalised experiences.

Technologies like Machine-Learning and Artificial Intelligence, sensor networks (the \u2018Internet of Things\u2019), blockchain, AI-driven conversational chatbots, virtual and hybrid reality, and 3D modelling are transforming customer value and experiences.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”25px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]

Every business needs to harness the potential of digital technologies to surprise and delight their customers, and stay competitive. That requires tech teams who can be the \u2018tip of the spear\u2019 and lead the charge.

The rapid pace of change in technologies and tools has left many traditional IT teams disorientated and confused about their role (i.e, \u2018Do you want me to focus on upgrading our apps, displacing legacy systems and keeping the lights on or not?).<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”22px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]

The solution for many organization has become what\u2019s known as two-speed IT. Put another way, it\u2019s about parachuting a new team of tech experts to create a Development Operations team that is equipped with the right skills blend and tech tools to implement agile developments.

The pace of digital evolution is now SO SWIFT that there\u2019s not enough time to code the majority of apps anymore. A growing demand for short-cuts and code block re-use has popularized the use of Low-Code tools that make coding faster. These solutions, while useful, haven\u2019t done anything to remove one of the fundamental challenges of application ideation: That is the barrier that exists between IT and the business when you use code and script.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto|-20px|auto||” custom_padding=”6px||2px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/makeinnovation.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/smiling-young-business-woman-working-with-her-comp-Q2Q5NLK-1.jpg” alt=”digital” title_text=”smiling-young-business-woman-working-with-her-comp-Q2Q5NLK (1)” _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-11px|||||”]

At one time, any applications design and deployment technology that didn\u2019t show the appropriate amount of love for the art of coding would be shunned by businesses as being \u2018amateur stuff\u2019 that wasn\u2019t \u2018enterprise-grade.\u2019 Practitioners in the art of coding would argue that any tech platform not focused on the needs of the coder was deemed unable to cater for the vast array of requirements modern enterprise apps dictate.

That isn\u2019t true anymore.

These new tools enable Business Analysts to scope and design solutions, removing the \u2018deep technical\u2019 duties from the task of authoring an application.

A Fusion Team is a cross-functional project team brought together around a particular app development initiative. It is generally a temporary organizational structure that \u2018fuses together\u2019 technical, commercial, change management, data security and legal considerations in the form of a transitional project team.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”23px||-6px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]

The purpose of a Fusion Team is to come together, implement the change, then go on to do other things. This means its not always necessary that the entire team has to be employed on full-time employment contracts, forging the possibility for Statement-of-Work styled project programs to be established whenever business needs are identified.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-7px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]

In one of its latest papers<\/span><\/a>, Gartner argues, \u2019The rise of fusion teams, or multidisciplinary digital business teams, requires CIOs to rethink the role of IT in supporting enterprise strategy.\u2019 We would agree. The adoption of Fusion Teams into the enterprise biosphere is going to take a significant shift in attitudes and the final acceptance that coding is always going to be required for exceptional cases, but for the majority of applications building blocks, No-Code tools work just fine.
