Integrated Solutions for Application Development

In meeting business objectives, you have to constantly balance tradeoffs and tension between costs, quality, functionality and timelines. As such, application development executives live in the world of:

Budget pressures to increase productivity
Faster cycle times on releases/features
Larger, geographically dispersed teams
Greater reliance on outsourced, off-shore resources
No tolerance for downtime of business-critical applications

To deal with these challenges, you may turn to one or more development approaches that involve outsourcing, metrics initiatives, and/or agile development. While these initiatives are intended to solve specific development problems, they increase the pressure on management to closely monitor and analyze these processes.

Reflect on how well you can answer the following questions about your development team, process, and the effectiveness of your product releases:

Costs and Productivity:	Are my developers spending their time on the most important work? Which developers, teams or outsourcer exemplifies the best practices and can serve as models? Which ones need coaching on managing processes better? How are my resources for bug fixes compared to those for new features aligned with my business needs? Is productivity improving or declining?
Time:	Are we on track to meet delivery dates? If not, why? What tasks do I need to focus on to avoid slipping delivery dates? What are the development cycle times to resolve issues?
Quality and Functionality:	What are the key sources of problems in our development processes? Can I proactively identify weak points before escalations occur? Can I validate issues at every stage of the process – not just at the end?
