Agile IT management framework [fev 2020]

Following the European Union Directive for Copyright, more and more signals are coming out to place copyright management on the CEO agenda at the same level as data privacy management [1] :
  • content marketing has become a key leverage for branding
  • more and more jobs are creating and using copyright assets
  • overlooked copyright faults by a supplier may question his security and loyalty
  • copyright security is being looked as a clue of enterprise and professional ethic 
  • overlooked copyright faults by an employer may deter the best digital talents, who have been trained on copyright use [2a] and are eager to work within an ethic environment, to join and stay [2b]
  • in a few enterprises, organisation has already been impacted [3a][3b].

The following study case is a cell of the enterprise adventure game "Copyright value added - the Game Version 2" [4].
The study case complies to the format of an "Entreprise Adventure Game cell"[5].

A framework to bring agility 
to large companies IT departments



We are in 2015, in France.
Digital startups have demonstrated that they are able to deliver successful software at an unusual rapid pace. CIOs of large companies are compelled by CEOs to find a way to transform their IT departements to meet the startup challenge.

Study case questions:
  1. In 2014, the consultant Gartner issued a model which recognizes the gap between large companies IT management and  digital startups management  ; what is its name ? 
  2. What is the word used to qualify a large company that has the capability to swiftly react to market changes ?
  3. What sport is evoked with the word "scrum", which is the name of a generic method which values individual software developpers interactions over software development management processes ?
  4. According to the genuine Scrum method guide, is the Scrum method applicable to large teams of software developpers ?
  5. We are in 2015. Name two legacy IT management frameworks, one edited in USA, the other edited in UK.
  6. Formulate a tagline to vision the challenge facing the CIOs of large companies ?
  7. Now you start designing a framework that should meet large companies CIOs expectations : 
  • identify the conceptual elements to retain from the Scrum method to integrate into your framework, 
  • identify the conceptual elements to retain from legacy software development frameworks to integrate into your framework
  • define a go-to-market strategy for the framework
  • choose a copyright regime (public domain, copyright, Creative Commons,...) for the framework.
