Boost Solution Delivery Throughput With AI

Throughput is the core success factor for all solution delivery teams. Already expected to deliver continuously and quickly, exponential technologies such as AI are accelerating demands on your solution delivery teams. Stop your teams from falling behind: use this step-by-step research to strategically embed AI in your solution delivery process.

AI presents unique opportunities to boost solution delivery throughput such as code generation and automated testing, but it also introduces many challenges. Resources, skill gaps, and skepticism can reduce the potential efficacy of AI integration. Start small and ground your AI adoption in the root causes of your throughput inefficiency and plan the gradual and iterative embrace of AI across your solution delivery process.

1. Start by defining throughput for your organization.

Throughput is the delivery of high-value solutions, both at a speed and a level of quality that are accepted by users and key players. But the standards and expectations for solution value, quality, and delivery cadence will vary. Agreeing on acceptable throughput benchmarks from the get-go is essential for solution delivery success.

2. Test the waters before you dive into the AI deep end.

AI possibilities are endless. Choosing where to begin is critical but difficult. Start with quick-win opportunities that involve proven, out-of-the-box tools to quickly demonstrate the value and fit of AI in your solution delivery team. Use your successful implementation to both build the necessary foundations to support and generate the momentum for broader AI transformations.

3. Focus on AI value over hype.

Contrary to marketing hype, AI is not a silver bullet to all throughput challenges. Your team may be facing unique complications, risks, and uncertainties that AI is not designed to address. The rapid evolution and maturity of AI have addressed some of the concerns stopping organizations in the past, such as output accuracy, and it will only get better. See the benefits AI offers by adopting now but remain skeptical of the aggressive, hyped promises.
