Enterprise software builders struggle with complexity. An
unmanageable number of activities, artifacts. And globally
distributed development teams with different approaches
challenge coordination. Enterprise Agile is hard.
VOA tames complexity by putting life back into application
lifecycle management. We apply semantic technologies to
link every activity, artifact, and resource together.
With VOA you should expect to accelerate time-to-revenue
or benefit by 20%.

Business needs and requirements are unavoidably
volatile. And costs escalate the later in the lifecycle you
change or fix something.
With VOA, you recombine rather than recreate work. It
retains and evolves product and project knowledge.
This means you maximize the reuse of requirements,
models, tests, code, and implementation lessons.
Using VOA you should expect to reduce your change
management cost by 30% and lower both product
development and operating expenses.

Application lifecycle management should maximize the
value of a product or a project. Failure means not
achieving the forecast ROI for your product, project, or
release. Success is unlikely without the right information
about benefits, costs, risks, and alternatives.
VOA injects value across the lifecycle and shows the
financial implications of each artifact, activity, and
decision.
Turn your product or project ROI into reality with VOA.

Application lifecycle management systems are lifeless.
Artifacts aren’t in one place and joining them up takes
manual labor. Knowledge is scattered across point products.
Information falls through the cracks between systems and
you lose work that has cost a lot to create. Inflexible technical
designs make change hard.
VOA brings application lifecycle management back to life.
Artifacts link across every lifecycle stage including idea,
design, development, operation, and retirement. Changes
synchronize and trace to each other automatically. And
because VOA is built on semantic technologies, it’s ready to
evolve without big redesigns. The more you use VOA, the
more value you get from its evolving knowledge base.

Turn ROI into reality
Business cases are often just used to justify products or
projects, then, forgotten. Implementation happens
ungoverned by the business case. Critical decisions,
especially, around scope change are made unguided by ROI
information. ROI-free decisions means disappointing
projects and underperforming products.
VOA injects and tracks ROI into every stage of application
lifecycle management. Early in the lifecycle, you can build
your business case, set value targets, and forecast ROI
down to the individual artifact or activity. As
implementation progresses, VOA continuously refines and
reforecasts benefit, cost, and time estimates based on
actual performance.

Change and reuse artifacts
Requirements management isn’t agile. Writing a clear user
story won’t help much if it’s left in traditional dead-
document format. They’re hard to find, inflexible, and
discourage reuse. Inevitably, business conditions and user
needs change, then, your requirement is out-of-date.
VOA creates requirements ready for both change and
reuse. Requirements are built around elements, so, when
change happens only the element needs adjustment.
Changes synchronize automatically across related
requirements.
VOA encourages reuse by structuring knowledge into easy-
to-share levels including industry, customer, and specific
implementation.

Release management is about maximizing the
business value of your release or deployment. With
Agile, the product backlog prioritizes on customer
value. But this is a single, static and subjective
measure. You don’t have the information to decide
on value.
VOA changes how you plan new releases or
deployment. Whether you are an agile product
manager or an enterprise deployment manager, VOA
lets you slice software into the unit of analysis you
want. Choose to slice software into a full release, a
subset of features, or your single most valuable
feature. You can plan and iterate your slice of
software for maximum value.
