Upstream is heavy or long upfront planning cycles because of 2 key reasons at the enterprises (client
organizations)

2. Return on Investment (i.e.) Invest in right initiatives as IT projects are expensive
It is controlled by having
1. Governance process (Detailed documents and Gate reviews)
2. Risk averse security policies
3. Enterprise Architecture standards
4. Maturity models

Reason & Remedy > to reduce the Time to Value
1. Reason > Incremental ideas from different product managers (application owners) crowd the pipeline
/ backlog. Too many requests from product managers (on behalf of customers).
Remedy > Follow the Product Model (i.e. Develop the Roadmap)
2. Reason > All IT projects are reviewed during the regular / planned review meeting
(Bi-weekly/Monthly) and weighed based on the funding.
Remedy > Introduce Incremental (A) and Exponential (B) IT reviews (based on impact and returns)
and have separate teams to work on it A and B ideas.
3. Reason > Long Wait state at the ‘Aligning solutions design with Enterprise Architecture, and
complying to central ARB’. i.e. Work is found but Business Architects / Analysts and Solution
Architects have no bandwidth.
Remedy > Hire more Business Architects / Analysts and Solution Architects to clear the wait-time.
Also, provide them freedom and responsibility to perform.
