Abstract :
This is not going to be pretty. You´re in charge of a software development team, your two-year project was delivered over budget and over deadline - and the users are complaining that it doesn´t do what they want. Simply using an integrated development environment (IDE) isn´t enough to produce robust software these days. Application lifecycle management (ALM) is a category of software designed to manage all aspects of a software application´s production, giving earnest developers the chance to answer those questions, or better still, avoid them coming up at all.
