You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But it can be deadly, and it may be in your IT organization’s basement, silently killing your company. It’s called unplanned work, and CIOs and CISOs are losing jobs because of it.

Unplanned work by definition is any activity in an IT organization that cannot be mapped to an authorized project, procedure, or change request.

This paper reveals dangers and provides helpful scenarios and useful information to help you maximize effectiveness in your IT organization.
