Message Driven Agility (pt. 1): Fighting Fragmentation with Atlassian + Slack

Let’s face it. Our world of work is fragmented despite our best efforts to achieve agility. At the heart of successful Agile transformations are tech stacks powered by workflows that transcend across value streams. Organizational levels and business functions require integrated tooling and processes in order to collaborate on work in a unified way. High performing, hyper growth always involves a lean and agile tech stack that consistently delivers innovation from its value stream to get to the customer quicker. While interconnected tooling value streams may seem like a stretch goal for some, Cprime and Slack provide solutions that quickly enable message driven agility for immediate improvement in transparency, automation and process waste reduction.

Investments towards modern tech stacks are continuing to increase, yet it is hard to know which tools actually achieve value and which are just “work traps”. An average developer alone uses over 14 tools every day, but remember this: you don’t have to get caught going round and round on the swiveling chair. The first step is to focus on reducing complexity and fragmentation and connect the most critical tools. Context is everything and being able to tune this context into the common areas of where we work and collaborate every day brings more efficiency and allows us to act fast, automate the flow of work and make faster and more efficient decisions.
