In diesem essential werden die ubergeordneten Zielsetzungen der Applikationsentwicklung und einfuhrung auf vier Evolutionsphasen verteilt, um unterschiedlichen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Durch den daraus resultierenden strategischen Applikationslebenszyklus (SALZ) koennen innovative Neuentwicklungen in fruhen Phasen von technischen und architekturbezogenen Vorgaben befreit und agil entwickelt werden, wahrend fur operative Kernsysteme weiterhin ein ausfuhrliches AEnderungsmanagement betrieben wird. Damit bietet der SALZ auch die Grundlage, um in Unternehmen IT-Entwicklungsprojekte adaptiv mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten zu realisieren. Alle Erkenntnisse werden am erfolgreichen Praxisbeispiel des Q-Cockpit-Projekts demonstriert.
