In this slide deck from the on-demand webinar presented by strategic partners Tasktop and 321 Gang, you’ll learn how to connect ALM development tools across development teams to create an architecture for DevOps automation and build process models that connect the various stages of software delivery using RLIA-TE.

2. IBM’s Definition of DevOps
Accelerate
software delivery –
for faster time to value
Balance speed, cost,
quality and risk –
for increased
capacity to innovate
Reduce time to
customer feedback –
for improved
customer experience
‘In everything we all do, it's all about working in an agile way...
envisioning an outcome, prototyping, iterating, multi-disciplinary
teams... we do that in many parts of IBM today, but we're scaling
it at an enterprise level.’

3. Building a Best-of-Breed DevOps stack

4. Without Integration your
transformation will fail to deliver:
• $10M* per year of expected business
value
• Traceability from concept to cash
• IT infrastructure capable of supporting
transformation
• True end-to-end visibility for all
stakeholders
• Empowered and engaged teams
* 1,500 person delivery organisation

5. Manual (re)work is costing $10M/yr
Number of developers 1200
Number of testers 300
Total users 1500
Working hours per week 38
Minutes saved per user per week 100
Productivity increase 4.4%
Total direct delivery costs $225,000,000
Delivery value add factor 1
Additional value delivered (per year) $9,868,421

6. Annual cost of Fragmented integration
Manual (re)work - value lost $9,868,421
Traceability overhead $270,000
Tool upgrades/migrations $1,045,000
Traceability and compliance Exposed
Management Reporting Manual
Visibility Fragmented
Team engagement At Risk
Total costs $11,183,421

End-to-end traceability

8. • Cornerstone of Agile or DevOps
transformation
• If you’re not fixing the bottleneck, you’re
wasting your time
• What if management reporting is
inaccurate/out of date?
• What about distributed/external delivery
teams?
• How much manual effort will this involve?
End-to-end visibility

9. • Reduced velocity
• Reduced morale
• Reduced value delivery
• Employee churn
• Disproportionate effect on 10x’ers
Consequences of lack of engagement

10. • Drives DevOps transformations across departments
• Streamlines Agile, SAFe and Bi-Modal practices
• Connects the software delivery value stream
• Ensures all tool combinations run -- all the time
• Embraces continuous change
• Powers your software lifecycle analytics
• Scales to support enterprise-wide transformation

Does not scale

Manual, error prone

12. RLIA-TE is your strategy
Protects against system outages
Synchronizations/updates queued until system is back online
Concurrent modification/Conflict resolution
Synchronization in real-time, on a field level, so conflicts are minimized
Conflict resolution policy set by administrator on a field level
Suppoerts schema or workflow changes
All changes put in a pending state until administrator updates schema or mapping
Detects corrupt system data
Integrity state checking that restores inconsistent data as needed

14. Ensure DevOps is not constrained to a
subset of the SDLC
Avoids the mistake of enabling only local
optimization
Optimize the value stream for business value
delivery
Integrate for Continuous Engineering
PPM/Agile/ALM/SDLC/ITIL tools – through
synchronization
Multiple vendor DevOps tools – through event-
based automation
Agile team tools – through synchronization
