Integrate Agile ALM and DevOps to Build Better Software and Systems at Lower Cost
Agile Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a comprehensive development lifecycle that embodies essential Agile principles and guides all activities needed to deliver successful software or systems. Agile ALM embodies Agile Configuration Management (CM) and much more. Flexible and robust, it offers “just enough process” to get the job done and leverages DevOps to enhance interactions among all participants.
Agile Application Lifecycle Management offers practical advice and strategies for implementing Agile ALM in your complex environment. Leading experts Bob Aiello and Leslie Sachs show how to fully leverage Agile benefits without sacrificing structure, traceability, or repeatability.
You’ll find realistic guidance for managing source code, builds, environments, change control, releases, and more. The authors help you support Agile in organizations that maintain traditional practices; conventional ALM systems; or siloed, non-Agile teams. They also show how to scale Agile ALM to large or distributed teams, and to environments from cloud to mainframe.
