Summary

Software is an expression of the business. To enable this, developers must build software that drives the organization’s commitment to customer obsession while facing increasing pressure to quickly deliver differentiating digital capabilities. This is why, in 2024, we expect TuringBots to greatly improve the software development lifecycle (SDLC), corporate projects to release under ajar source, Backstage to dominate self-service developer portals, developer experience to become a major business investment, and DevOps to expand past DevOps research and assessment (DORA) metrics. In this report, we explore Forrester’s predictions for software development in 2024.
