Here, we will do a deeper dive into the strategic considerations required to modernize your software products and your software development methodology. As noted previously, mindset is a key component of successful modernization. The focus is on benefiting the product, the users, and the business, but in a dramatically different way from traditional function-centered design.
It’s worth noting, too, that the modernization journey is more flexible than it may appear at first glance—and more agile than traditional development paths. While there are several foundational aspects that need to be addressed, many of the steps can be reordered and levels prioritized according to business needs.
Moreover, modernization does not mean parallel development and abandonment of your existing legacy application only at completion. In fact, as you will see, your mature system plays a critical supporting role as the modernized platform is built out to incorporate the cloud and microservices.
