Download Software Wasteland: How the Application-Centric Mindset Is Hobbling Our Enterprises AudioBook Free
Know what's triggering application development waste so you can turn the tide.This is the audiobook your systems integrator and your application software seller don't want you to listen to. Venture IT (information technology) is a $3.8 trillion-per-year industry worldwide. Most of it is waste.We've cultivated used to projects priced at tens of hundreds of thousands or even billions of dollars, and routinely running over budget and schedule often over. These overages in both time and money are virtually all lost resources. However, the waste is hard to see, after being so marbled through all the products, procedures, and guiding concepts. That is what this audiobook is about. We must see, understand, and consent about the problem before we may take coordinated action to handle it.The trajectory of the audiobook is as follows:
- In section one, we explore how lousy the current condition is. The three industries that address software waste are discussed, like the legacy software industry, neo-legacy software industry, and legacy modernization industry. Examples of application waste are illustrated from both open public and private industries.
- In section two, we explore the economics of the software industry. Even though economical trade-offs are changing at the quickness of Moore's Legislation, our approaches aren't keeping pace. Understand how information systems really behave in conditions of actual software development.
- In section three, we use "root cause research" to show you the true contributors to the situation, that happen to be dependency, redundancy, difficulty, and software centricity.
- Section four recounts the countless failed efforts we've made in the past to cope with information system difficulty, including relational databases, ERP systems, enterprise data modeling, service oriented architectures, and APIs, Agile, data warehouse and business intelligence, outsourcing and offshoring, cloud, Software as something (SaaS), data lakes, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
- Section five dismantles seven fallacies that contribute to our remaining stuck. For instance, the first fallacy is "We need complete requirements or we won't get what we want."
- The quagmire is not influencing all industries of the overall economy equally. Section six looks at how this is playing out in the government and private industries, large and small companies, and various elements of the IT industry itself.
- Section seven outlines some action you may take now to start to extricate yourself, including an in depth evaluation and defining metrics for calculating and preventing software development waste.
