Software drives the world …… but IT organizations seem increasingly driven!

The ability to use, develop, integrate and deliver custom software is strategic for most organizations

But unlike other strategic business processes, there are often large gaps – which is risky! No consistent processes are being applied Reporting on productivity, quality and value is missing Processes and activities are not predictable and repeatable

Complexity of software and value opportunities grow without associated maturity and capabilities

Manufacturing as Inspiration

1. Overproduction

2. Waiting (time on hand)

3. Unnecessary transport or conveyance

4. Over processing or incorrect processing

5. Excess inventory

6. Unnecessary movement

7. Defects

8. Unused employee creativity

Manufacturing Sources of Waste

App Development Equivalents1. Too many superfluous

artifacts

2. Broken builds

3. Too many tool transitions

4. Rigid architectures

5. Analysis paralysis

6. Late discovery of defects

7. Rising downstream labor costs

8. Polluted SCM streams

9. High null-release ratios

10.Measures of effort, not results

Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply Lean is a production practice that considers the

expenditure of resources for any goal otherthan the creation of value for the end

customer to be wasteful. Value is defined as any action or process that a customer would

be willing to pay for.

The Case for “Agile ALM”

Software is fundamental to competitiveness today

Custom application development is growing in importance because it provides measurable value

Agile, delivery oriented methods are on the rise

The lifecycle of applications needs to be managed end-to-end – it is not enough to “just” build them

Cross platform is a reality

Development teams need tools that can handle more than “just” core development tasks.

| 38

Microsoft & ALM

Why is Microsoft in the ALM business? Just one reason: to make application

development and development teams on the Microsoft platform successful

What is our approach? Collaboration through integration of all team

roles
