How Does APM Enable Agility?

Pillars of an agile monitoring strategy

Copyright © 2015 AppDynamics. All rights reserved.

1.  As our code and architecture rapidly changes, does our monitoring dynamically adapt?

2.  Can we quantify the impact of changes, can we drive improvements from our observations?

3.  Can we proactively detect degradations, and notify across multiple channels?

4.  Can we derive observation into business performance?

Adaptive Monitoring

Quantifying Change

Proactive Detection

Business Impact

What techniques will we apply?

•  Deployment Automation

•  Jenkins Integration, Release Tagging

•  Integration Within Existing Processes and Platforms

•  Defining Performance KPIs, Health Policies

•  Correlating to Business Performance Metrics (BPI)
