IT Manager Webcast: Application Platform: Using KPIs to Streamline Development (Level 200)

Tags:
application servers

Overview One of the main benefits of moving to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) with an integrated (rather than ad hoc) technology set to support the process is the visibility to get into the life cycle. Knowing how to 'Read the tea leaves' can help to identify constraints early and take corrective action. It can also help to meter the success of the ALM implementation over time. The presenter of this webcast explores common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server illustratively, and how to interpret them individually and in combination.
