“Worldwide
confusion
about
app release
and
deployment!”
What’s true and not true

2. Developer hasn’t seen
Daylight in weeks
Only one way
to deploy
enterprise apps
Family weeps for
lost loved one

3. Only way to deploy
enterprise apps.
Deployment setups that are
truly automatic don’t need
special scripts—they work
with the tools you already use.
Automation means automatic

4. Dev teamdeploying!
loves
“Not a special skill,”
many say
No details missed

5. Only way to deploy
enterprise apps.
Deployment is a specialty
Don’t make your developers
design the deployment process.
Set it up so they can test first
and then deploy.

6. Magic spreadsheet
tracks everything!
Enterprise-level
releases
“easy to do”
Specialized tools deemed
unnecessar y

7. Enterprise apps need more
Sure, emails and spreadsheets
are OK for simple releases. But
what about complex, interdependent,
big releases? It’s impossible to
collaborate and trace those without
specialized tools.

8. Quality plummets with
automation!
“I should do
it manually,”
says exhausted
human.
Computers unfit
for repetitive tasks

9. Repetitive tasks are what
computers do
When you automate, you let
computers do what they do best.
Plus, you’ll get tracking features
to help keep things straight.

10. Savior of release coordination, developers sa sspprreeaaddsshheeeett hh aaiilleedd!y.
“ Repetitive manual tasks:
great use of
your time.”– management

11. Only way to deploy
enterprise apps.
Dealing with the spreadsheet is a
job in itself
Release coordination tools make development
faster, easier, and more precise.

12. Large Release
Interdependencies Seamless!
“no biggie,” teams say
Conventional wisdom:
small, frequent changes
not profitable

13. Many hands make lighT work,
and all that
Small, frequent changes are
easier, faster and less risky to
make. Automation helps free
developers to troubleshoot.

14. Automation and build:
completely
separate
No transition
prep necessary
“ We just hit a button, and
ever ything was per fect”

15. Automation requires preparation
Test builds before they go into production.
Versioning them makes tracking simpler.

16. rejoices
Operations over bottlenecks!
No culture
changes in
sight, thank
goodness
Management “ el ated ”
to hear of backlogs

17. Backlogs are bad
If you’re going to use
release and deployment
tools, get your teams
ready for a change in the
way they work.

18. All Problems
Vanished!
Developers stymied

“They were here, we automated,
now they’re gone,” dismayed

19. Getting a payoff takes time and work.
There will be resistance and
frustration at first. Stick with it.
