Leadership on the municipal utilities billing ART wants one annual freeze of all rate-engine changes so the year can be planned in a single big batch. How should the RTE apply Lean-Agile thinking?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One giant yearly freeze is a snowplow that waits until July. Smaller batches let the billing ART learn from real meters instead of discovering a year of wrong rates on the same Tuesday.
Full Explanation
Lean-Agile thinking favors small batches and fast feedback over large, irreversible freezes. Annual big-batch change maximizes inventory, delay, and the cost of being wrong. The RTE coaches leaders to use PI cadence so rate-engine work can be inspected as working system increments. Exceptions-for-executives and yearly locks both violate flow and economic principles.
