What is the constraint

in IT ?

Put your energy into the constraint

Top 5 constraints in IT

1. Dev environments setup2. QA setup3. Code Architecture4. Development5. Product management

Application Development Problems

• Not enough resources• Bad Data leading to bugs• Slow environment builds

1. Not Enough Resources: shared bottlenecks

Frustration Waiting

1. Not Enough Resources : bugs because of old data

Old Unrepresentative Data

1. Not enough resources: limited environments

2. Bad data lets to bugs: subsets

False NegativesFalse PositivesBugs in Production

2. Bad data lets to bugs: Production Wall

2. Bad data leads to bugs: late stage bugs
