Finding agility in the age of applications

We live in the age of the application, a place where business agility depends on application agility. This makes the rise of Agile methods over traditional, sequential application delivery one of the most compelling modernization stories of the past decade.

Done right, Agile delivery reveals code defects earlier in the development cycle, decreases overall project risk, and allows quicker response to changing business priorities.

This HP white paper examines how enterprises can find true agility by understanding the complete application lifecycle, one which unifies development and operations as part of a continuous "application supply chain".
