Over the past decade the innovative use of software in both the public and private sector to enhance our professional and private lives has grown , the next decade change will be immeasurable. In every corner of life we are increasingly using software from doing our accounts to booking a swimming class for our children, and the market is getting more competitive.Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is the discipline of understanding the process of Software development from the birth of an idea to the retirement of an application. The importance of ALM as a discipline cannot be underestimated from a high-level risk aversion and intellectual property perspective to a low-level daily operations and software development process improvement perspective. Application Lifecycle Management impacts Project / Program Managers, Architects, Business Analysts, Software Engineers and Application Testers equally as each input along the lifecycle will have a positive or negative effect on the timescale, cost and usability of the end product.If you develop software in any form, from a simple website to an ERP product, an understanding of ALM is crucial to gaining an insight into the everyday problems you face. - How do I create, understand and develop better requirements?
- Can this Architecture be improved to better resemble the needs of the business?
- How can I better manage this project/ program of work, which has multiple cross project/program requirements?
- How can I cut the number and understand the type of bugs I have to fix?
