Get Visibility For Better Business Impact With Application Development Management
Most application development groups take an ad hoc approach to monitoring their activities, which gives them little to no visibility across their applications. Without that visibility, it can be challenging to quickly flag issues, identify problems, prioritize potential new products or releases, or communicate commitments to key stakeholders. The results are inevitable - excessive costs, wasted effort and lost opportunities.
Improve Alignment With The Business
Is it challenging to figure out which requests to pursue from the business and in which order? Are you having a hard time saying no to new requests? Identify the business drivers for each new product or release making sure there is strong alignment with factors such as corporate strategy and competitive differentiation. For each approved development activity, set expectations with the business about the key release themes and expected return from the project. Do not rely any longer on the loudest voice getting first priority or simply saying yes to everyone.
Supports Cross-Platform And Cross-Methodology
In addition, Serena® Application Development Management is cross methodology and cross platform. You can use traditional waterfall or Agile methods, and Serena or 3rd party development tools. All of your applications are tracked in one place. Your development teams can then update project status, track milestones, and manage development costs for each product release. Application Development Management combines this capability to track and monitor progress with the ability to present reports on key development metrics for that release. For example, Application Development Management can easily present Serena TeamTrack/Business Mashups reports on issues and defects. In general, Application Development Management can display any report that is URL addressable. That allows Application Development Management to present information from across multiple development systems in one location so that you can see the big picture.
