This SlideShare shows how Mendix can help organizations in the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). There is more to it than just business & IT collaboration. Find out what an organization should do to be agile and what the 5 main focus areas are to achieve organizational agility.

1. Mendix Accelerates
the Software Development Life Cycle

2. Governance: Monitor Quality during operation
Test: automatically check for Consistency and Test
Agile Project CollaborationCentralized App Management
Develop: convert ideas to app logic
Ideate: new approach to solve problemsControl: Manage and govern centrally
Accelerate every step of your app journey
Deploy: to any Cloud or on-premises

8. Methodology
Waterfall
Upfront Requirements & Planning
Detailed Documentation
Fixed goal
Lean
Eliminate waste
Amplify learning
Decide as late as possible
Deliver as fast as possible
Empower the team
“Scrum-fall”
“Water-scrum”
No upfront design documents
Detailed Project Planning
Detailed Progress Reports
Agile / Scrum / Kanban
Individuals & Interaction over process & tools
Working software over documentation
Customer collaboration over firm contracts
Responding to change over following a plan
Majority of the Organizations
Statements: We’re Agile, ‘Trying’ scrum
Questions: How do you work with the Business;
How do you plan & budget for projects.
Differentiator: Mendix is designed for an Agile/Lean organization
Mendix
Budget/Team/Reporting on individual Project
Ongoing Budget/Team/Reports for Improvements
Value-Stream Driven Budget
Long-lived (scrum-)teams Scrum-teams per Value-Stream
Upfront planning
Detailed Project Planning & Reports

16. Architecture
Mainframe MicroservicesClient-Server
Monolith
SOA
Layered Architecture
Majority of the Organizations
Statements: Our software doesn’t allow us to change
Change is a lot of work;
Changes always impact multiple apps
Releases require a lot of testing [unexpected consequences]
Differentiator: Mendix can open your architecture and
allows you to jump ahead

17. Automation
All Manual
Manual Testing,
Manual Deployment
Fully Automated
CICD
Partially Automated
Manual Testing / Automated Deployment
Automated Testing / Manual Deployment
Majority of the Organizations
Statements: We can’t release fast enough
New releases are expensive
Questions: How much time do you spend testing a release
Can you create new releases (fast enough)?
Differentiator: By purchasing & using ATS you can immediately
add orchestration and you have CICD
Automation Orchestration: Jenkins, UrbanCode, Gitlab CI, VSTS
ATS, Selenium, HP UFT

18. Hardware &
Infrastructure
Mainframe,
Hosting on Hardware
ServerLess,
FaaS
Virtualization, Managed Hosting,
IaaS
Majority of the Organizations
Containerization,
CaaS
Questions: Provisioning of new environments
Operational costs for maintenance
Reliability of environments (and how is this achieved)
Scalability (how easy is it to change environment sizes)
Differentiator: Mendix Cloud provides the latest technology &
Increases Reliability, Scalability & Reducing Cost
