Use Action-Oriented Categories To Guide Application Life-Cycle Investment Decisions
Human Life-Cycle Analogies Provide No Value And Introduce Bias
This is the second document in the "Application Management Continuum Stages" series.
by Phil Murphy
with Tom Pohlmann, Alex Cullen, Tim DeGennaro
Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
Excessive IT costs have application development and program management professionals searching for ways to reduce wasteful spending within their application portfolios. Many organizations begin the process by describing applications using human terms such as "adolescent" and "elderly," but that is a diversion with no practical benefit. Forrester's four fates, scoring perspectives, and application management continuum provide a more robust management framework.
