Challenges of Traditional Application Lifecycle Management

IT and Infrastructure

● Poor Agility● Lack of continuous integration/build and

DevOps● No consistency in

○ Repo creation○ Jenkins build systems○ Issue tracker○ Dependency usage○ Resource usage

External

● Too complex for 3rd party developers● Hard to access APIs infrastructure● No App Store/ No API Store.

Governance

● Governance is manual hence costly and inconsistent

● Management have no insight into development

Environments

● Hard to create and maintain environments

Accelerated Application Development

Why Application Development need to be accelerated?“within the digital universe the data volume to double every 18 months”The Expanding Digital Universe: A Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth through 2010John F. Gantz, David Reinsel et al.

o Building applications need to keep phase with

o Growth of data

o Growth of demand to consume data

o Advance requirements to consume data
