Agile ITS Team Streamlines Modernized Network Rollout
July 18, 2025
Gonzaga University's ITS Networking team, a three-person unit known for its reliability and collaboration, undertook a major initiative to modernize the campus network through the implementation of a Software Defined Network (SDN). Facing growing demands and outdated manual processes, the team adopted agile methodologies to streamline operations, enhance security, and improve service delivery. By applying Agile principles such as Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development, just-in-time planning, and transparent collaboration, they dramatically reduced setup times, improved team alignment, and delivered a smarter, more secure network infrastructure. Their success demonstrates how small teams can drive impactful transformation through practical agility.
