Application Lifecycle Management

Application lifecycle management lets you balance consistency and change.
Like software development, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) continues to evolve. Many organizations employ some or every ALM process and tool, using the framework of a single methodology. But many projects and programs require varying degrees of management and governance. The fact is that the scope of ALM has changed: While it was once only applied to requirements, development and testing, it is now applied to a much broader spectrum of the lifecycle.

At Avanade, we believe that the best approach is to use an ALM framework to enable a variety of methodologies, using a holistic approach tailored to your organizational needs. Avanade Application Lifecycle Management delivers the following benefits:

• Uses the Microsoft online assessment tool, to help you identify weaknesses, assessing each one in full to understand its impact on your organization
• Leverages Avanade’s ALM expertise gained from delivering thousands of applications, many of which were implemented by cross-functional teams at multi-site locations
• Finds the balance between your need for change and minimizing disruption with a detailed process which examines your current toolset and skills base
• Designs your development architecture and creates a roadmap for implementation, taking into account multiple factors, such as different levels of governance
