"From my point of view, you need to align infrastructure and security design elements to the processes you have in place. For example, if your organization uses two-week scrums, align your architecture design and implementation process around that process. If you are using a different cycle or another approach, design around that instead. This is true both temporally as well as philosophically. Meaning, the cycle time should be aligned to best service their needs, but the design philosophy should be aligned as well: if the organization heavily leverages cloud, adapt – if it's DevOps and CI/CD, integrate into that. You want to be in sync with the environment around you not just to get buy in and acceptance but also as a practical matter."
