WHAT:      

Getting ALM2.0+ to Work

For many organizations, the ability to deliver software is fundamental to business success. New products, services, updates to channels, pricing or promotion require changes to applications and websites. Organizations are now looking to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to provide visibility into this increasingly core business process. ALM promises the benefits of business management to the practice of software delivery. ALM2.0+ describes the next generation of practices that broaden the lifecycle to include operations and the business, while adding functionality for planning and collaboration.

West and Kersten will present patterns for successful ALM adoption for mid- and large-scale organizations, and highlight how organizations can incrementally obtain the benefits of ALM by connecting silos – one stakeholder at a time. The pair will draw on their years of software development experience to define a series of ALM integration patterns and describe how successful organizations are delivering software more efficiently with ALM2.0+ today.

WHEN:      

Thurs., April. 19, 9 to 10 a.m. Pacific (Noon Eastern)
