Software drives the world …
… but IT organizations seem increasingly driven!

 The ability to use, develop, integrate and deliver
custom software is strategic for most organizations
 But unlike other strategic business processes, there
are often large gaps – which is risky!
 No consistent processes are being applied
 Reporting on productivity, quality and value is missing
 Processes and activities are not predictable and repeatable

 Complexity of software and value opportunities
grow without associated maturity and capabilities

Lean manufacturing or lean production, often
simply Lean is a production practice that considers
the expenditure of resources for any goal other
than the creation of value for the end customer to
be wasteful. Value is defined as any action or process
that a customer would be willing to pay for.

Application Lifecycle Management

Deployment Management

Application

ALM provides a consistent & flexible Assurance and Architecture
Testing
approach for building and managing
software that focuses on delivering Development

business value fast.

| 36

The Case for “Agile ALM”

 Software is fundamental to competitiveness today
 Custom application development is growing in
importance because it provides measurable value
 Agile, delivery oriented methods are on the rise
 The lifecycle of applications needs to be managed
end-to-end – it is not enough to “just” build them
 Cross platform is a reality

Development teams need tools that can handle
more than “just” core development tasks.
| 37

Microsoft & ALM

 Why is Microsoft in the ALM business?
 Just one reason: to make application development and
development teams on the Microsoft platform successful
 What is our approach?
 Collaboration through integration of all team roles

 Timeline
 2005/2008 – Development transparency
 2010 – Developer/Tester integration
 Future – Development/Stakeholder/Ops integration
