あらすじ・解説
Know what's causing application development waste so you can turn the tide.
This is the audiobook your systems integrator and your application software vendor don't want you to hear. Enterprise IT (information technology) is a $3.8 trillion-per-year industry worldwide. Most of it is waste.
We've grown used to projects costing tens of millions or even billions of dollars, and routinely running over budget and schedule many times over. These overages in both time and money are almost all wasted resources. However, the waste is hard to see, after being so marbled through all the products, processes, and guiding principles. That is what this audiobook is about. We must see, understand, and agree about the problem before we can take coordinated action to address it.
The trajectory of this audiobook is as follows:
- In chapter one, we explore how bad the current state is. The three industries that address software waste are discussed, including the legacy software industry, neo-legacy software industry, and legacy modernization industry. Examples of application waste are illustrated from both public and private sectors.
- In chapter two, we explore the economics of the software industry. Although the economic trade-offs are changing at the speed of Moore's Law, our approaches are not keeping pace. Learn how information systems really behave in terms of actual application development.
- In chapter three, we use "root cause analysis" to reveal the real contributors to this situation, which are dependency, redundancy, complexity, and application centricity.
- Chapter four recounts the many failed attempts we've made in the past to deal with information system complexity, including relational databases, ERP systems, enterprise data modeling, service oriented architectures, and APIs, Agile, data warehouse and business intelligence, outsourcing and offshoring, cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS), data lakes, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
- Chapter five dismantles seven fallacies that contribute to our remaining stuck. For example, the first fallacy is "We need detailed requirements or we won't get what we want."
- The quagmire is not affecting all sectors of the economy equally. Chapter six looks at how this is playing out in the government and private sectors, large and small companies, and various parts of the IT industry itself.
- Chapter seven outlines some action you can take now to begin to extricate yourself, including a detailed assessment and defining metrics for measuring and preventing software development waste.
