Provide transparency on how engineering time is spent and how the tech priority decisions are made.  Rather than insulate engineering from the product team whims, open tech up and convince the product leaders to invest in hygiene like Evergreen and TLM as well as digital transformation like Agile, DevOps, cloud, data strategy, and AI.

It would require a shift towards a new ways of thinking and working. One of the best ways is to induct expert/coach on this subject - someone who has done this and helped others align with Product Mindset. 

In addition, getting the rights literature for people to read and follow - such as Marty Cagan's books. 

Exploring industry forums and events also helps in knowing what's working and what is not across the industry.

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).

We have a servicing organization within IT segmented by applications and has 3 different director teams supporting overall pieces which is creating confusion, misalignment and becoming harder to support one business area.  Components considered within this org are: PEGA products (NCompass, G&A), Genesys Cloud,  Google, Member Portal and Member Mobile.   How should i look at proposing a new target state Org considering all these aspects/products? Any ideas?
