Performance Management:
Risks
and Rewards
DevOps promotes a high level of collaboration among internal development, IT, and
operations teams. Since agile collaboration and processes result in more frequent
software releases, its important to reduce
bottlenecks in the software deployment
process and bring your companys IT teams
into the collaboration and feedback loops.
When your development team is constantly
building and deploying software, your internal IT organization must collaborate on each
release.
But it doesnt stop there. Internal end-to-end
collaboration is just as important, requiring
buy-in from all corners of the organization. It
really begins with executive leadership and
support, continues with the business units,
goes through all of IT, and ends up with the
end user. At each stage, and at every level,
technology is key. It follows that, as collaboration is critical for software development
and deployment, its just as important for
performance management and resolution.

Performance management requires both transaction
and user experience monitoring. Dynatrace, a provider of application performance management tools,
generally defines the user experience as the click-toscreen-update time, including underlying key application metrics. For instance, with SAP, this approach
identifies unique transactions, known as T-Codes. Dynatrace APM helps you develop baselines for application performance with transaction-specific granularity,
correlating these with supporting infrastructure metrics such as network packet loss, client zero window
events, and server data transfer times.
