摘要

One of the most broken processes in IT today is planning. Fixing this is critical to the future of the discipline. Over the past two years, he has asked people in industry what they've been doing to prepare for what comes next. Views of the future were all over the place and tended toward the fuzzy. That's perhaps to be expected at a transitional moment in history. Of more concern is the impact this endpoint ambiguity is having on IT planning processes -- the way people articulate how they get from now to next. While human life expectancy is expanding, IT's view of the future is not.
