Streamline Application Management
Move beyond maintenance to ensuring exceptional value from your apps.
Onsite Workshop
A poorly implemented application management practice leads to:
- Inability to balance the delivery of both new features and maintenance requests and maximize the utilization of delivery resources
- Confused and frustrated delivery teams who are receiving conflicting priorities from stakeholders
- Omission of key quality attributes from the delivery of new features and changes requests, which risks accruing unmanageable technical debt
A strong application management foundation can generate:
- A product backlog prioritized against organizational, not just departmental, priorities
- An improved perception of the value of application management, leading to optimization investments
- Greater confidence and trust of IT’s ability to deliver value
