Summary

Application development and delivery (AD&D) leaders are facing tumultuous change in 2015 driven by people, process, and technology catalysts. Mobile and cloud alter the architectural landscape and bring tension to traditional information technology thinking. DevOps techniques will revamp the way we deliver solutions to business stakeholders and create cottage industries in the process. But perhaps the biggest challenge to AD&D leaders is the ability to recruit, retain, or otherwise contract for talented people with the skills to build modern applications at speed while quiescing and rationalizing legacy portfolios. Read this report for Forrester's predictions of how these challenges will play out in 2015.
