 Reflection leveraging Learning Launch tool      Challenge at hand   I work as a Software Architect , responsible for managing an Application Portfolio .   Within my portfolio , we had an application built on vendor package . It happened to be   such an old platform , that the developers , who worked on this application , were no longer   available in the Organization . Now , the technology Vendor too went out of business and   we were running the risk of business continuity . Our immediate challenge was to come   up with the alternative cost effective solution to mitigate the business risk .     Selection Process   We were in a bit of uncertainty not knowing how the business worked and what would be   our next steps in replacing the toolset . In such a situation , we have employed Design   thinking process for solving this problem . We looked at the various tools that it offered .   Instead of getting into Analysis paralysis , we have decided we would take the approach   of Learning launch tool described in the video lecture demonstrated in week 4 of the   course .      Application of the tool for solving the problem   Initially there was lot of skepticism to replacing the toolset . Stake holders were worried   about the feasibility of the option . We have used Learning launch to prove out our   concepts in small sprints following Scrum approach , collaborating with the business   partners to learn and grow together . Part of each of the learning launch we have   implemented working model of the application focusing on certain critical business   functionality . Quickly learned about the expected behavior and incorporated into   subsequent launch .     Insight    The Launching learn was an effective tool to prove out our strategy to the business   stakeholders as they it in action . It also provided us an opportunity to course correct , seek   and incorporate the feedback . It also helped us to be agile and focus on the Next Big   Thing - yielding us biggest bank for the buck .   This way , it helped us not only in breaking down the risk of uncertainty but also   effectively manage it .      Approach    To start with , we did internet research on the technology options ; sought help from user   groups ; incorporated their suggestion into our brainstorming sessions . These ideas varied   from manual workarounds ; replacing with tools & technologies from other vendors ; to   building home grown solutions .    It was exciting to see our vision evolving as we worked . Business teams engaged very   actively providing feedback and were proud that we valued their feedback . All in all it   turned out to be a story of a Happy Customer .      This tool helped overcome the skepticism , free up our minds and gain confidence leading   to customer success .
