Business Agility

Business agility is nothing but having that ability or say flexibility in your application /softwares or products which can efficiently respond to the frequently changing needs of a client or customers.
Its all about moving to coupling from hardwinding. Its about planning all way around, making up a proper strategy, thinking proactively and incorporate innovation in your work.
Business strategy, BPM () Business process management and SOA (Service oriented application)is all that's demand of time, keeping in view the smart and less job for coder, lesser maintenance and obivously lesser time for implementation.
One biggest challenge what i felt is by now (with whatever little experience I had in industry and also from the life.)
Never Tempt yourself to diverge from the standards try it at least because once you see the code running without even following the standards you simply get in the hold of bad habit.
yeah, obviously you will get back to following standard but I am sure that will be only when you would have faced enough damage so better as naive start following standards.
Documentation and Reporting, these two things are really I have felt these two are badly missing in the industries. specially in the start ups. They should follow all these standards, because very easily they miss it very badly when they start really growing in terms of projects and people.
