Innovation is increasingly being driven by software

Mobile banking will be
the most widely used banking
channel by 2020, if not sooner

3. Operations*
Anytime, for any team, silos create barriers to effective software
delivery

2. Development
“At some point, you take a step back, and you
realize you have an awful lot of siloed systems
that are limiting transparency across strategic
projects.”
- Development Director
Temenos, Inc.

What happens if you do nothing?
When failure is not an option…

“What happens if your
deliverable date slips?”
“What happens if you can’t
effectively manage product quality
before your ship/release?”
“What happens if you can’t easily or
effectively integrate your most critical
software delivery applications?”
Software failures do have impact the bottom line!
*Only 47% are successful, 36%
are challenged, and 17% are
failures

Five Imperatives for
Effective Application Lifecycle Management
to improve organizational productivity
1. Maximize product value with In-Context Collaboration
2. Accelerate time to delivery with Real-Time Planning
3. Improve quality with Lifecycle Traceability
4. Achieve predictability with Development Intelligence
5. Reduce costs with Continuous Improvement

In-Context Collaboration improves product value
 Empower teams to collaborate on and review software development artifacts so they can
incorporate feedback early and often aligning delivery with stakeholders’ vision
 Provide a single source of truth hosted in a shared repository so that team members can
collaborate effectively around the globe to build a collective intelligence
 Make information immediately accessible to all team members in the context of their work
12

In-Context Collaboration always shows the latest
Unread work Items bolded for developers
Threaded discussions on
requirements
Recent discussions highlighted on requirements
13

Rich hovers automate information access without having to
click
 Rich hovers provide quick
access to information to
determine if additional
details are required!
14

Real-Time Planning accelerates time to delivery
 Provides a single plan that spans requirements, development, and test, ensuring the whole team
understands the overall scope of a project
 Integrates planning with execution ensuring the entire team understands the true project status
 Allows everyone to participate in keeping the plan current and accurate
 Helps teams respond to the unexpected in a timely manner ensuring the team stays on schedule

Plans tied to execution
Deliverables and work products show results
 Progress & Status
are good indicators
of execution.
 Change Sets &
Attachments are
better !
18

Lifecycle Traceability improves quality
 Establish relationships between software artifacts
 Identify and close artifact gaps, ensuring coverage across disciplines
 Provides visibility into the completeness of planned items by inspecting all related artifacts
 Provides easy access to related artifacts ensuring everyone shares the same view
 Delivers transparency which enables everyone to make fully informed decisions based business priorities

19

 Proactively respond to gaps (in red) as they surface throughout the project
 Issues are quickly highlighted and resolved (in yellow)
Team leads have visibility into coverage & completeness
20

Linked data is visible on all artifacts
 All roles can view the links on their artifacts.
 Each user has their own perspective and
user interface for viewing links.
 Create, delete, navigate links on artifacts
 Example: Developer sees the relationships
on a defect
 Traceability links on defects are
automatically created
21

Development Intelligence improves predictability
 Enable fact-based decision making (to communicate status, monitor progress, diagnose problems,
identify corrective actions)
 Steer projects and programs to deliver on-time
 Apply Business Intelligence techniques to software and systems development

Continuous Improvement reduces cost
 Improve software delivery through the ongoing adoption of best practices and automation to reduce
manual, non-creative and error prone tasks
 Promote incremental improvement of a project when needed
 Enable breakthrough improvement by capturing best practices and reusing across teams
 Allow everyone to participate with easy to adopt best practices at your fingertips.

Team retrospectives help identify areas of improvement
 Tracking Retrospectives help

• Ranking of process improvements
help to focus on where the team
feels the biggest pain

Use and reuse of project templates is
an example of breakthrough
improvement
• Modify to match your organization’s

“Efficient coordination and automation of the
delivery process requires new, collaborative
approaches to the planning, measurement,
execution, control and reporting of activities.”
“These new approaches are what
differentiate current application life cycle
management (ALM) tools, and what make
ALM processes vital to leading-edge
development activities.”
“ALM is what enables sustainable agile
practices. ALM creates a management
framework providing consistent, auditable
records of the decisions and activities of
agile teams.”
