What is Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)?
The coordination of development life-cycle activities, including
requirements, modeling, development, build, and testing, through:
Process Automation
- Enforcement of processes that span these activities.
Traceability
- Management of relationships between development artifacts
used or produced by these activities.
Reporting
- Reporting on progress of the development effort as a whole.

ALM leverages information produced to automate process handoffs
Executable process that can be automated ensures process compliance
ALM, What does it Mean?
“The Changing Face of Application Life-cycle Management” Forrester Research, Inc.
Reporting based on objective data, not subjective testimony, is the only real progress measure Improve your process by extracting useful measures to apply as input to the process
The process establishes relevant traceability between the information
Coordination of development life-cycle activities is achieved by correlating the information Compliance requirements make traceability a necessity
ALM is a discipline, but is not discipline specific

5 Brittle Integrations,
Proprietary repository API’s, Inconsistencyamong products –
user interface, underlying logic, storage
Need to fully and seamlessly integrate the work of testers, business analysts, and developers
ALM, Top 3 Reasons Fails to Deliver Promise
1.
Distracted by day-to-day delivery pressures – 78%
2.
Tools don’t integrate properly – 62%
3.
Lack the necessary internal expertise – 56%

What are the expectations?
Software is a competitive differentiator, therefore the software delivery process is a critical business process
How are you going to improve that business process?
Technology Innovation? Smaller contribution considering ever increasing commonality and emerging parity
Process Improvement? Larger contribution, but requires investment in change which is difficult and at odds with #1
Source: Martin Nally - IBM Rational CTO, IBM Fellow, and VP at Innovate 2010 The activities of an individual practitioner or small group of practitioners are fairly well served
Challenge lies with coordinating end-to-end software activities
Eliciting end-user requests, translated by analyst in requirements, designed and developed, validated by quality professionals, ultimately coordinating deployment into newer products delivered or Data Centers
IBM Software Group | Lotus software
ALM, How Do We Make Successful?
ALM challenges #1, #2 (previous slide) translate to a need to
Improve personal collaboration and process Integrate information end-to-end
Improve your process by extracting useful measures to apply as input to the process
Source: Martin Nally - IBM Rational CTO, IBM Fellow, and VP at Innovate 2010
ALM is an information-centric discipline
The methods we use to control the process are based on the artifacts produced, e.g. requirements, defects, architectural modules, test cases, etc.
ALM tools can help with the challenge of process change
Easy to adopt, open standards based, iteratively deployed, supporting scenario based adoption Teach, support, and enact the process
Historical approach: Tool-Process support largely based on brining guidance to the right point in the tool
Modern approach: Tool understands Process being followed and provides active process guidance
Seamless integration across tools in support of multiple practitioner roles Automatic gathering of statistics and generation of reports
Historical approach: Stage-gate processes relying on manual gathering of quality metrics
Modern approach: A users daily work produces the fundamental data used as measures
The measures become a behavior modifier. If clear guidance is provided, and a way to measure ones progress against goals, then people are willing to embrace change. What is generally lacking is the guidance.

What is Collaborative Lifecycle Management?
Collaborative Lifecycle Management coordinates people, processes, and information in iterative software and systems delivery
Meets domain-specific needs while enabling a real-time flow of information and ideas
Improves collaboration across teams and geographies by providing consistent access to team process, workflow and artifacts
Helps meet compliance requirements
through asset traceability and approval workflows
Provides the foundation for continuous capability improvement through flexible, rules-based process enforcement, real-time reporting and integrated best practices
Reduces total cost of ownershipthrough streamlined and enterprise-ready deployment, security and administration.
