It sounds cliché but change is everywhere in IT and it is impacting application development teams across the globe. We have a constant proliferation of new and “better” technologies. We have new best practices and approaches to methodology and application lifecycle management. We have innovations in organizational structure, leadership and management, and macro and micro-economic changes impacting business demand and even the mindset and sentiment of your consumers and stakeholders.
I love the game of poker and they say the best poker players are able to change their style of play to affect the best outcome. Granted there is always variance, but if you play the optimal game, you will win more often than not. Effectively leading, managing and delivering applications feels a lot like playing poker. Having a mastery of the application lifecycle management process and having the ability to change it up when needed is essential.
The ability to adjust to a rapidly changing set of business demands will set you up for success. That’s not to say that the occasional defect won’t slip out to production or a key resource won’t get caught with the flu and impact schedule, but the odds will definitely be in your favor.
How do we develop a mindset and culture that is favorable to change? What are some of the best practices that successful applications teams are putting to work for them now that will continue to work for them looking forward? What are some of the emerging best practices that your teams can take advantage of to deliver high quality applications faster than ever before? Spend a half day with HP Software as we engage visionaries, analysts and successful practitioners in discussing the key areas of change that application’s teams face today and the creative and effective application of these changes for powerful results.
They say you have to take time to make time…
