The Gap
Many technology-based companies have two components at odds with one another: business operations and technology, specifically the infrastructure, code, and processes of the engineering department. The business side seeks to maximize profit, reduce losses, and promote the product. To do so, it requires technology. An engineering department must streamline and support business operations while anticipating future needs.
Both components must work together if the business is to succeed. Doing so, however, requires bridging the gap between the fundamentally different ways each function. Business requires quick maneuvering and frequent changes, all of which might happen in the course of a single day. Technology, on the other hand, must consider abstract dilemmas associated with each facet of the business rules well before addressing the company's needs.
In terms of developing software, for example, if the business side needs to alter a feature or policy in the software in development, this insignificant business rule change can result in non-trivial negative impact to the work already underway.
To streamline and support the business side successfully, an engineering department must adjust and adapt to frequent changes and new requests. It must also remain functional despite the heavy demands placed on it. It must communicate effectively so the business side can have full insight into what is going on under the technology umbrella.
