 To start off with I'm going to be a little bit of a Jeremiah. There's a disaster coming The end of the world is near how near I don't know exactly But I do believe that there are a number of trends that spell some fairly significant changes In the future in our profession and in the way that we do things some of these things come from Forces within the industry right now we spend Over a trillion dollars a year on IT products and at least 40% of that is absolute total waste It just it's not resulting any deliverable product Delivers in products that are late bloated over underutilized And it a huge cost I Have no problem Overestimating the ability of corporate America at least to put up with these intolerable costs For for some time in the future, but sooner or later. They're going to say this is economically untenable Particularly as the world's economy Becomes more and more suspect Related to that is that there is somewhere between three and five trillion lines of code out there in the world today That's a lot of code It is approaching the point where nobody has any clue what it is where it is what it's doing why it's doing it how to fix it It's just getting immense so the the code base itself is becoming untenable the pace of change that's faced by Enterprises by people that are in business has been accelerating dramatically over the last 50 years The pace of change in our ability to respond with IT services and products Hasn't even come close to matching that same pace of change When I started in this profession in 1968 the average time for a project To compute taking all the corporate projects put together the average time of delivery of project was just under three years The shortest delivery time was measured in in a year longest in five or six years One of the largest companies in the United States in fact the largest privately held company in the United States a year ago initiated a 10-year one billion dollar project for their IT systems the discrepancy in these kinds of things Leads to a great deal of inertia So if you are a young Agile entrepreneurial kind of a business or you want her a big business and you want to be young
