Automated IT Governance
Traditional governance models often don’t work for modern product development teams. When release frequency surges, new bottlenecks emerge and expose processes rooted in manual reviews, approvals, and status reports. UrbanCode helps address these constraints by automating low-value, routine governance tasks to free your team to focus on higher value activities.
Push-Button Audit Reports
UrbanCode makes full traceability from source code to production easy with out-of-the-box, easy-to-use audit reports. With UrbanCode Velocity, you can quickly generate a pdf to send to your auditors that details the who, what, when, where, and how of your DevOps processes. Customize your reports by time period, environments, and applications to get information like who approved which deployments, what versions of your components were deployment, and the start and end time of your deployments. UrbanCode has been providing push-button audit reports since 2016 and our customers love that feature!
Surface Key Governance Metrics
Our industry is standardizing on deployment frequency, lead time, time to restore service (MTTR), and change failure rate as key performance indicators, but every team has different priorities and goals. Some are focused on uptime and application performance. Others are trying to improve rate of delivery throughput. And some place the highest importance on tracking security vulnerabilities and quality initiatives.
UrbanCode Velocity jumpstarts any team with dozens of out-of-the-box metrics that can be tailored with your own custom metrics. Customizable dashboards are available to pull different views of metrics together. UrbanCode enables your key metrics, so your team can measure what matters most.
Quality Gates, Not Compliance Theater
Too often, IT approval processes fail to add value, especially when approvers have little understanding of the applications being released and little insight into quality. UrbanCode solves this with deployment approvals and quality gates throughout the delivery pipeline.
With UrbanCode solutions, quality gates allow you to specify the conditions that must be met before the application can be promoted to an environment. Ensure your application changes reflect the agreed-upon quality criteria for promotion and have auditable sign-offs. For each environment, set gate conditions or policies, and customize approvals to match your organization’s chain of custody. Tap into the development, test and security available from your toolchain to streamline your process and bypass low-value review and approvals.
