D3

Coordinate platform and pipeline management for provisioning, developing, delivering, and monitoring applications.

Improvement Planning

Practices-Outcomes-Metrics (POM)

Representative POMs are described for Toolchain Management at each level of maturity.

2Basic
  • Practice
    Put in place common tools or platforms to be used across teams to support solution delivery.
    Outcome
    The effectiveness and efficiency of solution delivery is improved due to tool consistency.
    Metrics
    • % of test activities supported by tool usage.
    • % of teams using a standard toolset.
3Intermediate
  • Practice
    Put in place integrated, end-to-end management of platforms and pipelines across the life cycle, and ensure that the criteria for selecting tools are well-defined and applied.
    Outcome
    Criteria for selecting tools (such as interoperability, range of features, platforms supported, and active user community), are well-defined and can be consistently applied to keep the toolchain manageable.
    Metrics
    • # of criteria for selecting tools in place.
    • Existence of integrated, end-to-end management of platforms and pipelines across the solution life cycle.
    • % of teams using a standard toolset.
4Advanced
  • Practices
    • Ensure that strategic and comprehensive management is in place to manage platforms and pipelines across development and infrastructure teams.
    • Facilitate frequent experimentation with new and evolving tools.
    Outcome
    The effectiveness and efficiency of solution delivery is ensured.
    Metrics
    • # of annual reviews of platforms and pipelines.
    • % of new and evolving tools incorporated.
    • Existence of strategic and comprehensive management to manage platforms and pipelines across development and infrastructure teams.
    • % of teams using a standard toolset.
5Optimized
  • Practice
    Continually review and optimize enterprise-wide, integrated management of platforms and pipelines.
    Outcome
    Delivery teams can introduce and integrate tools that facilitate their delivery needs in a transparent, flexible way.
    Metrics
    • # of annual reviews of platforms and pipelines.
    • % of new and evolving tools incorporated.
    • Existence of strategic and comprehensive management to manage platforms and pipelines across development and infrastructure teams.
    • % of teams using a standard toolset.
