Achieve Enterprise Agility Throughout the Complete Lifecycle

Achieve Enterprise Agility Throughout the Complete Lifecycle

HP has extended its enterprise software strategy, adding new application lifecycle management (ALM) capabilities as well as enhanced support for agile software development and project management.


Traditional Delivery Is Risky

2

The biggest problem with waterfall software development is that risks can be uncovered too late in the project for them to be easily addressed.


Agile Equals Lower Risk

3

If agile is done right, functionality is built faster, is better aligned with stakeholder needs and uncovers risks much earlier in the process.


Application Development Is Not an Island

4

Agile enables rapid development, but these gains are lost if features just stack up at the goal line waiting on the same slow release process developers have always used. Value isn’t realized until it gets to the user.


DevOps Goes After the Development-Operations Gap

DevOps is the rising trend for improved collaboration between application development and IT operations teams for better, faster software delivery and management.
