In WikiPediaApplication lifecycle management (ALM) is the marriage of business management to software engineering made possible by tools that facilitate and integrate requirements management, architecture, coding, testing, tracking, and release management.[1]
REFERENCE: Pic is from http://www.notionsolutions.com/alm/Pages/default.aspx[AN]ALM is about how we develop software as a whole from gathering requirements to shipping and maintaining software and everything in between[AN]We can walk here by talking about SDLC and then show ALM as it begins from request then planning then SDLC and managing SDLC then maintaining and finally the retirement of the project/product (no more work nor maintaining) and at last ALM has oversight on all of this ALM is more about managing the final product and all that goes into building itIt is broader than SDLCSDLC is about the core activitiesALM is the core activities with everything around them, it can include marketing, selling and the feedback loop from the customer.SDLC is more focused on what we do to get the product developedALM is focused on measuring the activities and managing how they relate together, it even intersect with SDLC but is not a clear cut concept
This slide is available as a comparison if you want to compare/contrast with the 2010 slide.It’s also nice to be able to tell the VSTS 2008 story before diving into what’s new in 2010.[Taken from Brian Keller Presentation in Teched Brazil]
