由于过去几年的产品复杂性和市场变化的速度显着提高，公司发现在开发过程中预测产品需求越来越困难。本文重新定义了问题，从改善预测到提高产品开发敏捷性的问题，从而减少了准确的长期预测的需求。它介绍了开发灵活性的概念，显示了如何测量它，并提出了一项关于集成系统开发的大型经验研究的结果，该研究发现，使用灵活技术的项目优于使用不灵活的技术的项目，而不是不灵活的技术（以人为月份为单位） ）。最后，本文提出了将灵活性引入组织的三种主要策略。这些策略可以帮助企业提高敏捷性并定位自己，以成功地加速和动荡的市场。
As product complexity and the rate of market change have dramatically increased over the last years, firms find it increasingly difficult to forecast product requirements in their development processes. This article redefines the problem from one of improving forecasting to one of increasing product development agility and thus reducing the need for accurate long-term forecasts. It introduces the notion of development flexibility, shows how it can be measured, and presents results from a large empirical study on integrated systems development, which found that projects using flexible technologies outperformed projects using inflexible technologies by a factor of 2.2 (in person-months). Finally, the article proposes three major strategies for introducing flexibility into organizations. These strategies can help firms increase their agility and position themselves to succeed in accelerating and more turbulent markets.
