Today's fast-changing markets require businesses to respond rapidly and take proactive measures to maintain or gain a lead. Increasingly, this manifests as a software challenge, because applications don't just support a business--increasingly they are the business, the source of its key differentiators and competitive advantage. In order for a business to evolve and adapt, its applications need to evolve and adapt, too, which means businesses must develop new applications and capabilities and rapidly deploy them into production. In response to this demand from the business, development teams are racing to create new and critical pieces of functionality, but they're doing so faster than operations teams can release them for use. Organizations have to clear down this backlog of new and modified applications--and streamline release processes--so that they can promptly release application enhancements and immediately leverage their new functionality to enhance the success of the business.
