Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): Unlocking the Full Value of Managed Software Delivery

Tags:
software engineering

Overview Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is emerging as a promising approach to improving the software delivery process. However, "Traditional" ALM hasn't been able to reach its full potential for delivering business value. Why? Because vendors are aggressively pushing restrictive, end-to-end ALM solutions that aim to lock customers into proprietary IT platforms. Customers soon find that these solutions don't integrate well with their existing development processes, tools and platforms. Unfortunately, this leaves software development teams with disconnected processes and silos of ALM data, which in turn prevents them from realizing the full value of ALM. To overcome this challenge, a new approach is required, one that enables customers to deliver software on top of a mixed development environment.
