Murmuring alarms are emerging from the cloister at Red Hat after the world's largest management consultancy was hired to help the IBM subsidiary focus engineers on their most valuable work.
Red Hat's approach to security and compliance: the job is never done
Red Hat confirmed the partnership with McKinsey & Company to The Reg, sharing this excerpt from an email from CTO Chris Wright to the Global Engineering Team:
Hey everyone – as I mentioned in the last Q1 All Hands, my goal is to have Global Engineering recognized as the world's largest open-source software engineering organization.
This team is already doing great work, and we have several initiatives underway to help us achieve the goal I have set. One of them is a partnership with McKinsey. The goal of this project is to help us understand and incorporate learnings about working models, development methods and tools from across the software industry.
