This document discusses accelerating digital transformation by overcoming technical roadblocks. It recommends adopting a responsive enterprise approach with qualities like customer centricity, collaboration, and data-driven experiments. Lean practices and IT performance are foundational to agility. Automation, GitOps, connected pipelines, and quality-first thinking can improve delivery. Cloud adoption and new technologies require guidance and standardization. DevOps as a service can provide pre-defined patterns to scale practices across organizations.
