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. The Changing Face of Application Life-cycle Management Forrester Research, Inc. 3
ALM, What does it Mean? The coordination of development life-cycle activities, including requirements, ALM is a discipline, modeling, but is not discipline development, specific build, and testing, through: ALM is manifest in the information produced by leveraging the integrations between practitioner tools Process Automation - Enforcement of processes that span these activities. ALM leverages information produced to automate process handoffs Executable process that can be automated ensures process compliance Traceability - Management of relationships between development artifacts used or produced by these activities. 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 Reporting - Reporting on progress of the development effort as a whole. 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 Changing Face of Application Life-cycle Management Forrester Research, Inc. 4
ALM, Top 3 Reasons Fails to Deliver Promise 1. Distracted by day-to-day delivery pressures 78% 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 2. Tools don t integrate properly 62% 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 3. Lack the necessary internal expertise 56% Need to fully and seamlessly integrate the work of testers, business analysts, and developers Inconsistency among products user interface, underlying logic, storage Brittle Integrations, Proprietary repository API s, Source: Forrester study commissioned by Wipro, 2008 Source: Martin Nally - IBM Rational CTO, IBM Fellow, and VP at Innovate 2010 5
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 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.

IBM s AD/Cycle businesses are are also also faced with with the the high high costs of of maintaining existing inventories of of applications and and a a shortage of of experienced programming skills.. Vision: Central Repository, Data Governance, Data Linking A Arecent survey of of over over 1000 businesses indicated that that the the backlog for for applications is is approximately four four years requirements and and specifications are are passed on on paper from from product planners to to designers and and from from designers to to coders proliferation of of unrelated tools, methodologies, and and manual data data transformations Challenges: Closed Market Data Duplication (Import) for foreign tools Source: Presentation on IBM s AD/Cycle, circa 1990! 9
