Lack of visibility into day-to-day activities in application development is a big problem for all stakeholders. Business Analysts, Architects, Developers, Testers and Managers â all work in a very isolated manner using different tools and have limited information about the overall Application Lifecycle Management development activities and status.
Business Analysts donât get answers to their questions â
âAre there test cases covering the performance aspect of this customer requirement?â
âWhich customer requirements are designed, which ones coded and which are tested by now?â
Developers struggle to get their questions answered â
âWhat was the detail customer discussion and business perspective for this functional requirement that I am developing?â
âHow many test cases failed for my code?â
âHow do I find which components are using this part of the code that I need to change to implement this new requirement?â
âWhich other requirements can reuse my piece of code?â
âCan I see how similar requirements were developed in the past?â
âWhich other requirements management tool can be used to implement this new requirement?â
Testers find it difficult to get answers for their questions â
âHow do I know which other parts of the application need retesting when I am testing the fix for a bug?â
âIs somebody working on fixing this bug and what is the current status? Is this recreated by the developer?â
Project Managers and Executives have limited visibility into the progress and quality of development projects. Whatever visibility they have is typically gleaned from subjective testimonials and is not based on any objective data.
âAre we on track to meet the delivery schedule? If not, what are the bottlenecks?â
âAre we doing enough reviews at every stage of the development? What are we finding?â
âWhat is the quality of the current release that we are working on? Which part is not stable yet? What corrective actions are needed?â
The information required to answer all the above questions are spread across disparate tools and locked in. All these tools need to be connected to unlock the hidden data and let the entire project stakeholders share the same pool of up-to-date real-time information. Connected ecosystem of tools allows every individual, team and organization to gain greater insight into the application development helping them to do their job much better in an informed way. Efficiency can only be achieved when the right people are on the right projects at the right time, doing the right things on the right items. This is impossible without a full visibility into projects, people, costs and items.
