DevOps World | Jenkins World 2018

Software industry leaders are grappling with three major trends that are driving the need for greater automation and integration among software automation tools:
-The need to accelerate the digital transformation pace for application development and delivery
-The need for an integrated DevOps toolchain to create a continuous delivery process
-The growth of complex distributed and multi-technology software architectures that incorporate microservices, IoT, containers and cloud

In this talk, Chris Condo, senior analyst at Forrester, will present market trends and data that back up these observations. He will review the impact emerging technologies - such as microservices, containers, serverless functions and cloud - are having on software development. He will speak to how AD&D leaders are looking to expand their use of Agile + DevOps, while at the same time finding ways to get greater ROI out of those methodologies. In addition, Chris will review research into an emerging tool category Forrester calls Value Stream Management (VSM) tools. VSM tools show great potential with their ability to create high fidelity tool integrations and their ability to model software development as a value stream.
