Why – What is the Pain?
1
No Consistent Visibility into Software Risks
•Risk data might be known but is not socialized
No Consistent Means for Risk Measurement
•I have bought tools for my engineers but no one is using them.
“I Ask 5 People the Same Question & I Get 10 Answers!”
•Too many opinions and not enough facts.

What‟s the So What?
One could conclude there’s a much lower adoption of automation in
the software industry.
Interesting Factoid…

It‟s the DATA, not the tools.
Automation adoption is still immature in our industry because the focus
is on the right tools versus a sound data management strategy.
