Trend 4: Virtualization
Trend 5: Embrace Agile
Paradigm, Cultural Shift Requires retooling of existing developer services Many different tools, often not integrated Traceability throughout ALM lifecycle Meaningful, Decision oriented Analytics Complexity in Agile Infrastructure maintenance
Accelerate Agile Adoption with Integrated Tools in the Cloud
Essence of Agile
Traditional Deliberate decisions, longer feedback loop Transparency through project manager Predictability through contract
Agile Shorter, nested feedback loops Transparency through Agile practices Predictability through timeboxing
Time-Boxing
Contract Scope / functionality is a contract, scope creep Dream to have time, cost, and quality to be fixed Continuous scope, time, and cost creep Adversarial relationship between business and IT
Time-Boxing Time, Cost, and Quality are fixed Scope / Functionality flexible Continuous prioritization and re-prioritization of scope and function Collaborative and Team mentality between business and IT
Agile Management Tools
Quick, easy way to manage tasks and backlog item Drag and drop based on priorities Daily, Weekly adjustments of priorities Self-estimating of hours remaining User Stories, Epic and Themes Just enough documentation on requirements and design
Feedback is King
Developers need feedback on their code through continuous inspection and continuous integration Product needs feedback from Product owners, stakeholders and customers Feedback creates product that people want
Reduce Feedback Cycle through Automation
Agile Feedback Reduce Dev and Ops Divide
Dev Team
Needs to deploy frequently to get feedback Require flexibility for ad hoc deployment Wants least path of resistance
Ops Team
Needs to keep infrastructure passwords secure Needs to audit who did what Needs controlled environment for reliability and security Process and Schedule driven
Automation Enables One Click Deploy
Trend 6: Innovation On and Off the Job
Hackathon
Todays Application Development Challenges
Limited project level business agility Multiple, redundant tools in multiple locations Lack of enterprise scalability and visibility
Why is Development in the Cloud Important?

Other Responses Require secure multi-site access (10) Allows ability to access source code outside of corporate firewall (4) Simplicity of setup & maintenance (4) Use as a testing environment (3) Inter-university academic collaboration (2) Secure backups (2) Our company is to small to host our own server (2) The code was already on CVSDude (1) Lack of fixed valid IP address (1) Software as a Service (1) Trac (1)
The #1 reason why people outsource to CVSDude is for risk management and data security purposes In addition, most customers use CVSDude to reduce costs and focus on core competencies

Conclusions
As the software industries mature, barriers are falling Cloud-based solutions are reducing costs of entry, raising the performance and quality bar, and bringing together Dev and Ops Early adopters of the cloud have gained an unfair advantagefirst recognized by entrepreneurs, now by Enterprise Next comes moving the entire application lifecycle into the cloud, which would commoditize dev infrastructure
