“If our teams were just organized in the right way, and we adopted the agile process, we’d be so much more efficient.” A belief that if teams are organized in the optimal way and the right process is followed, the company will be high-performing. Teams need to be able to build and deploy software very easily.

First, the behavior of an AI application depends on a model , which is built from source code and training data. A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code.
