1. The document discusses orchestrations in Serena Business Manager, including alternatives like web service notifications, connectors to Dimension CM and RM, and PVCS version control. 2. It provides an overview of using orchestrations for process enforcement, automation, and integration across the SDLC from development to operations. 3. The document outlines how to build orchestrations using concepts like processes, loops, variables, and calls to web services, and recommends best practices like creating orchestrations from transitions.

Introduction to the SDLC
Define ideation, change control, requirements elicitation/verification, modeling, prototyping
Design architecture, infrastructure, services, microservices, UI, UX, devices
Develop IDEs, coding, editing, building, unit testing, debugging, continuous integration, reuse
Decide automated testing, functional testing, black-box/white-box testing, user testing
Deploy continuous deployment, code deployment versus application deployment
Do definitive medial library, CMDB, release management, production monitoring
Demand service desk, incident reporting, problem management, emergency changes
Software Life cycle – Applies to Orchestrations
