Dave West, Chief Product Officer at Tasktop Technologies

Abstract:

In this webinar Dave West, Tasktop's Chief Product Officer and former Forrester analyst, describes how organizations can start thinking about ALM from an architectural perspective and what the implications can be to software delivery organizations. He describes a world where ALM is a key business process for organizations and shows how, with some careful architecture, software delivery can be optimized to deliver real business value.
In this webinar Dave West will cover:

The current state of ALM in the software industry
Real customer examples of ALM
Best practices for Lean ALM
How you can get there

Lean teaches us that the best processes focus on value while reducing waste. But for many organizations their tools, process and people have become disconnected. There are multiple processes for planning, development, deployment, support and maintenance; unfortunately, all of these processes are disconnected. Each department has selected their own tools, none of which work together. Additionally, complex matrix organizations have resulted in people having too many masters and confused priorities. This is a long way from the ALM and Lean ALM pipedreams.
But does it have to be like that? It is time to stop thinking about tools and start thinking about ALM in a structured, systematic way.
