- #8 The most talked about modern app developers are coming out of startups. And why are they so successful? Because they have lean practices unencumbered by years of refined processes. The Learn Startup has intuitively found an optimal path to getting ideas developed, delivered, and refined. Ideas are developed and then released. They measure how their app is doing, collect the data, and then learn about what happened. Finally, they apply those lessons and update their product.The modern startup is lean.And being lean leads to<CLICK>

- #10 Modern apps take advantage of advances in technology (mobility, devices, cloud computing, the internet) to enable new value opportunities for businesses across all industries, to scale their reach and grow their top/bottom lines. Value opportunities that can be enabled by modern app investments are constantly evolving and require a continuous delivery cadence to realize the needed sense of urgency. Modern App Lifecycle Management practices enable businesses to execute and deliver on modern app investments with a continuous delivery cadence that balances agility and quality.
- #11 Accelerating business modernization with investments in systems of engagement (modern apps) isabusiness and technology decision maker priority.Software and app development investments are critical enablers of business modernization initiatives. Business and technology decision makers alike, are recognizing the opportunity to prioritize software and app investments that take advantage of advances in technology, to realize new value opportunities in scaling reach, and growing their top/bottom lines.
- #12 Always on, accessible anywhere,high scale data management, and constantly evolving are defining traits of modern apps. Enabling these traits without the right application platform and tools is a tough scale and complexity challenge.
- #13 Modern app development platform and tools to build connected device (phone, tablet, browser, PC, device console), web, and cloud apps and services that are accessible anywhere while being internet reach and scale capable.Modern app lifecycle management tools and services to enable a continuous delivery cadence for constantly evolving modern app investments.Modern data and BI services and development tools spanning Big Data, RDBMS, and OLAP data/information models to address the volume, variety, and velocity challenges of modern app data requirements.Modern Data Center solutions spanning on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud infrastructure to meet the always on and elastic scalability requirements of modern apps.
- #14 Thisis a canonical architecture of modernizing an enterprise’s IT infrastructure and app investments, originating from baseline on-premise infrastructures.
- #15 By layering in the Microsoft Application platform offerings, the end-to-end integrated platform + development tools solution becomes visible and apparent.
- #16 Modern app lifecycle management practices help teams eliminate delivery impediments and deliver continued value with software. Modern app lifecycle management extends beyond source code management and version control to encompass full lifecycle practices that integrate teams and functions, eliminate waste, and reduce cycle times across every aspect of software development from ideation to production operations.
- #17 Transition slide – heard about business challenges and technology required to build out new competitive initiatives. BUT, there are no green-field companies unless a start up. They must have existing technology – much of this is deployed via some of these architectures such as, monolithic mainframe type deployments, client/server or possibly SOA/ESB. All 3 of these require modernization when trying to adjust infrastructure to support business initiatives.
- #18 Inefficient team integrations result in value delivery impediments that adversely impact the entire software lifecycle from defining application requirements to development, production, deployment, and operations. The net adverse impact is increased cycle time in delivering value to take the business forward at the needed velocity.
- #19 The Visual Studio Modern App Lifecycle Management solution is Hybrid IT capable. Team Foundation Server on-premise and Team Foundation Service in the cloud, enable the modern app lifecycle management hubs that provide the services to enable the above described modern app lifecycle management practices through integrations with surround development tools and other Microsoft servers and services The Microsoft ALM solution components: Team Foundation Server: The ALM server/hub enabling end-to-end and integrated ALM capabilities for cross-platform development teams.The platform development teams for which our ALM solution is optimized and will continue to evolve to enrich.VS is the primary IDE for Microsoft Development.
