Many organisations attempt to adopt Lean practices without fully understanding their implications in software development. This often leads to excessive handoffs, which fragment communication and reduce agility. Heres the kicker: handoffs are not Lean, Agile, or DevOps.

Managing projects by intuition and “gut feelings” alone is risky. Project managers are expected to deliver faster, leaner, and with greater accountability than ever before.

The real challenge lies not in accessing this data but in using it to make intelligent decisions.
