Where is technology heading in 2018? Vector Consulting has spoken with technology companies to identify where product development and IT are heading and which topics are relevant in the short-term and mid-term. Based on the survey results we have outlined concrete recommendations from our consulting projects. Our study "Industry Trends 2018" with concrete practical guidance is available for free. Thanks to all who participated.

Agile software development is mandatory to achieve flexibility in complex systems. However, industry-scale agility for distributed teams, large projects, and critical systems is far from trivial. It requires scaling agile practices to fulfil requirements on transparency and governance. In our IEEE technology column we explore such frameworks such as the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Scrum of Scrums (SoS) and show best practices from two industry case studies.

Begin with the end in mind. Strong goals are achieved when we visualize them as a tangible result. This holds especially for your own live and personal goals. Make a bold statement: What do you want to achieve? Imagine your seventieth birthday. You invite family, friends and colleagues. Who are the people that you want to celebrate with? And what will they tell you? Now the most important step: What do you need to do today so your guests say what you want them to say? Of course, there are uncertainties. But no reason to keep on running your current tracks. A difficult exercise that might massively change your life.
