Producing Agile Applications

by Oliver Sims

Application developers need to handle a surprising amount of software technology. Platform suppliers cater to many architectural styles, thereby leaving a gap between their platforms and an application's business function. Filling this gap takes time and effort and reduces the "agility" -- simplicity and resilience -- of the application code. This Executive Report by Oliver Sims first identifies how software technology can be clearly separated from business function and then proposes simplifying approaches that can make the business function more "agile." Together, these elements can significantly reduce the time needed to develop distributed enterprise applications.
