Most conventional approaches to IT development assume that youre building entirely new systems. Today, Greenfield development is a rarity. Nearly every project exists in the context of existing, complex system landscapes--often poorly documented and poorly understood. Now, two of IBMs most experienced senior architects offer a new approach that is fully optimized for the unique realities of Brownfield development.

Richard Hopkins and Kevin Jenkins explain why accumulated business and IT complexity is the root cause of large-scale project failure and show how to overcome that complexity one bite of the elephant at a time. Youll learn how to manage every phase of the Brownfield project, leveraging breakthrough collaboration, communication, and visualization tools--including Web 2.0, semantic software engineering, model-driven development and architecture, and even virtual worlds.

This book will help you reengineer new flexibility and agility into your IT environmentintegrate more effectively with partnersprepare for emerging business challenges improve system reuse and valuereduce project failure ratesmeet any business or IT challenge that requires the evolution or transformation of legacy systems.
