Industry's Broad Scale Shifts …
Continuous Delivery &
Deployment
• Cross Platform: Consumerization
and Integration Complexity
• Agile ALM: Maturing in the
enterprise (> 40%); Still hybrid
• DevOps: Integrated Dev & Ops
transforming enterprise IT
• Cloud: Consumerized - spanning
public & private cloud IT
Dev Ops

Tools & Processes Proliferate - Governance & Agility Suffer
Governance Visibility
IT Management
“The trend toward broader adoption of agile practices and the
increasingly distributed nature of development teams are driving
greater focus on collaboration and coordination.
But users demand flexibility in the tools they choose, not
monolithic solutions, because user needs vary widely in terms of
regulatory compliance, distributed team support, technology mix
and organizational structure.”

Scaling Agility Requires Processes & Tools
“Most firms are experiencing rapid
and fundamental change in both
business and technology. How do you
cope? You must transform your
software delivery approach.”

Scaling Agility Requires Tool Enabled Collaboration
• Coordination, Communication, Automation
• Collaboration, Traceability, Transparency

Enterprise Agility Requires Process & Platform Integration

The Importance of Corporate Agility
Considering all these factors, corporate agility has become a differentiator in
today’s business world. MIT Research suggests that agile firms grow revenue
37% faster and generate 30 percent higher profits than non-agile companies.

Blueprint for Scaling to Enterprise Agility
Embrace
Cloud
Implement
Community
Architecture
Codify Dev
Processes
Orchestrate
DevOps
• Extend DevOps to ext. clouds
• Integrate & govern 3rd party
services
• Support Agile and mixed processes
• Codify data definitions, tool integrations, workflows
• Gain end-to-end visibility, traceability, repeatability
• Map business / enterprise architecture
(project hierarchies, workspaces, artifacts, roles)
• Be social (e.g. code reuse)
Leverage

Clouds
Collaboration & Insight
Value
• Centralize access & visibility
• Plug-in & collaborate – code, issues, people
• Automate Continuous Delivery & DevOps
• Collaborate enterprise-wide
