ALM
A lot of people asking me what is your job title (Application Life Cycle Manager)?
So this is my answer:
Customers are often looking for their software to be built quickly, and to remain competitive, developers have to follow suit. Application management allows for increased productivity by also increasing efficiency. Learn how ALM coordinates people and tools to all work smoothly together.
Application Lifecycle Management solutions coordinate people, processes, and tools in an iterative cycle of integrated software development activities, including planning and change management, requirements definition and management, architecture management, software configuration management, build and deployment automation, application security, and quality management. In addition to the capabilities, the fundamental features of an ALM solution include traceability across lifecycle artifacts, process definition and enactment, and reporting.
The most important benefit of an ALM solution is coordinating the people, processes, information, and tools involved in project to deliver innovation to your stakeholders. Beacause there is no one-size fits all solution, we advise our clients to focus on the following imperatives as they implement an ALM approach best suited to thier environment and culture:
1. Integrated planning
2. Traceability of related artifacts
3. Development intelligence
4. Automation and Collaboration
5. Continuous process improvement
By using IBM suite (RRC, RTC, RSA, RQM) you can achieve the above smoothly together
