Productivity 1. Pick the right high-productivity PaaS

3. Determine what to expose to business

4. Train & manage citizen developer work


3. Don’t Think Public Cloud First: Architect the Right Cloud

Select app dev tools & infrastructure that provide cloud choice

Consider mixed environments to support dev, test, production needs

Think about whether your private cloud app needs to burst to the public cloud

Consider financial (e.g., CapEx costs) & management implications

Hybrid Cloud


4. Don’t Take a Mobile-First Approach: Take a User-First Approach

Some organizations have apps

And want mobile / tablet experience

Some organizations

are building new mobile apps

EVERY organization should be designing for the user


5. Don’t Create Another Silo: Integrate Your Mobile Dev Efforts

Leverage “API First” approach

Deploy combined web & mobile development environment

Cloud-enable your entire app infrastructure

Use hybrid mobile approach to decrease need for scarce mobile dev resources
