Under N: Acceptance to Delivery in N Hours with Umashankar Velusamy (Uma)

While nine woman can't make a baby in one month, nine possums can...what does that have to do with software delivery?  You'll have to listen to find out.

In this episode, Uma describes his Under-N methodology.  The Under-N methodology provides a framework to uncover hidden capabilities within IT applications and IT application teams and then to use the capabilities to deliver a business need, change, or want in under N hours, where N is the absolute time it takes to deliver. It also elicits capabilities that may not yet be present but that are possible, while outlining four atomic change capabilities that, when implemented, will enable IT applications to deliver changes in an under-N fashion by mixing and matching.
