The Gartner IT Market Clock is a decision framework to assist IT and business leaders in evaluating and prioritizing their IT investment and divestment activities – an ever more challenging task as enterprises move more swiftly to a digital economy. In the report, Gartner recommends that development organizations implement Lean principles. As Gartner writes, “Application leaders should utilize Lean principles as well as improved processes and tools that enable collaboration across multiple IT functions, to achieve improved delivery speed, cost, quality and user experience.” LeanKit CEO Chris Hefley says, “LeanKit is uniquely suited to help enterprise IT and business leaders apply Lean and Agile principles to their work. Our visibility, scalability and Lean metrics enable teams to visualize and improve their end-­‐to-­‐end processes to work together more efficiently and effectively. As a result, teams can deliver customer value faster – not just in development, but across IT and throughout the enterprise.” LeanKit’s mention in this report follows its mention as a selected vendor in the same category for the 2015 Gartner IT Market Clock for Mobile App Development report. 2 Gartner, IT Market Clock for Application Development, 2015 Published: Dec. 21, 2015 Gartner, IT Market Clock for Mobile App Development, 2015 Published: Sept. 24, 2015 Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product or service depicted in its research publications, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings or other designation.
