Product teams are facing tooling challenges in these times of increasing digital complexity. But does ALM just add to the complexity, or can it help save time and costs?
It’s crucial for engineering teams to be skilled in utilizing next-generation application lifecycle management (ALM). ALM is a comprehensive approach to software development throughout the entire lifecycle from conception to deployment. By implementing ALM practices, engineering teams can achieve development maturity for high-quality products that meet customer needs.
While many enterprises are seeing the benefits of integrating ALM into their processes, management buy-in for adopting ALM can still be a challenge. Without a full understanding of ALM’s continued benefits, some organizations may be hesitant to invest in new tools and technologies. But more forward-thinking organizations understand that ALM is a long-term investment, not just a short-term solution, for making smart tooling decisions to streamline their development processes, improve communication among team members, reduce time to market, and drive innovation.
ALM also offers valuable insights into software performance and usage so organizations can leverage analytics and metrics, gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance their products.
