Business Strategy and IT 
The importance of being different 
 A primary goal of business strategy is to 
create competitive advantage. 
 The essence of that advantage is having 
differentiation. 
 Virtually all business strategies today 
have an IT component. 
 And that IT component should have a 
competitive advantage which in a 
product and service company depends on 
ALM. 
WHAT IS ALM? 
An Application Lifecycle is the supervision of 
Software Application from initial planning to Retirement.

Three Aspects of ALM 
Development 
• A fundamental part of every Application’s Lifecycle 
– Define Requirements based on the Business Case and Design, Develop and Test 
the Application 
– Manage Maintenance of the Deployed Application 
– Perform another development cycle to build a new version 
• SDLC is not ALM, but a part of the ALM story

Three Aspects of ALM 
Operations 
• Deployment needs to be intimately Connected with Development 
– A fundamental part of Operations 
– Planning for deployment begins before the application is completed, and the act of 
deployment itself is a fundamental part of operations. 
• Continuous Monitoring and Updates

Absence of ALM –Missed Expectations 
• “We don’t have good visibility into 
project status” 
• “Our teams are not communicating 
effectively” 
• “Requirements are not sufficiently 
defined or tracked” 
• “Software is not adequately tested” 
• “Cost of maintaining and operating 
the solution exceeds the business 
benefit”

  • 5. Three Aspects of ALM Development • A fundamental part of every Application’s Lifecycle – Define Requirements based on the Business Case and Design, Develop and Test the Application – Manage Maintenance of the Deployed Application – Perform another development cycle to build a new version • SDLC is not ALM, but a part of the ALM story SDLC, v1 SDLC, v2 Maintenance Governance Development Operations Kovair Software Copyright © 2000-2014 5
  • 6. Three Aspects of ALM Operations • Deployment needs to be intimately Connected with Development – A fundamental part of Operations – Planning for deployment begins before the application is completed, and the act of deployment itself is a fundamental part of operations. • Continuous Monitoring and Updates Deploy Monitor Deploy Updates 6 Governance Development Operations Kovair Software Copyright © 2000-2014
  • 7. Absence of ALM –Missed Expectations • “We don’t have good visibility into project status” • “Our teams are not communicating effectively” • “Requirements are not sufficiently defined or tracked” • “Software is not adequately tested” • “Cost of maintaining and operating the solution exceeds the business benefit” Kovair Software Copyright © 2000-2014
