Business and IT leaders are striving to increase software delivery capacity, but they know that “throwing money at the problem” will not solve it. They are looking for proven approaches with key focus areas so their investment can be secured effectively in application development.

“What are the key actions we should take to build a high-performance application development organization?”

• Build and Manage a Hierarchical Product Backlog – “Application development tasks are not “incidents” or “quick fixes”. The product backlog represents the bridge between business needs and application development work, so it should be created and maintained by a dedicated product management function.”
• Design and Develop a Full-Stack Application Platform – “Code reuse is the holy grail of software engineering.” LCAPs (Low-code application platforms) are a great way to make your team more productive and have been quickly growing in popularity with application development.
• Automate Value Stream Delivery – The Most Important Question: “What can be automated?” OR “Why is it not automated?” “Quality assurance has become the first and most popular target for automation mainly due to the amount of repetitive, routine tasks involved in testing. However, every stage of the application life cycle has opportunities for individual task automation and AI augmentation.“
