Technology continues to advance, but it can be difficult for organizations to keep pace with the change. Many information system projects are late and/or produce applications that are not the correct solution. As a partitioning scheme, events define natural business activity and retain their identity throughout the development process, extending the business view to implementation and production phases. These "event threads" bring agility to the development lifecycle.
By studying and understanding these threads, organizations can improve their information technology and operational results. In this guidebook, you'll get the tools you need to:
- understand the fundamental concepts of business events;
- enhance your software development strategy with event thread insights;
- use a hybrid mix of waterfall and iterative methodologies to bring the best of each to your software development efforts;
- effectively engage user and stakeholder groups.
Discover the concepts and practical applications of event threads and also get insights from a case study of six events with test cases. Whether you're a manager, project lead, systems analyst or programmer, this guidebook will help you define the development process for both the IT and business teams.
