This has brought the concept of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to the centre stage of governing, developing and maintaining projects within an organization. Today's customers demand speedy delivery of applications; however, there is lack of collaboration among people, methodologies, tools, and platforms. While ALM 1.0 focused only on development of tools, ALM 2.0 rectified the approach and focused on increasing the collaboration by integrating tools. However, there has been skepticism regarding ALM as to what purpose it is serving. Hence, ALM 3.0 is all about changing the understanding of ALM from tool-specific strategy, or finding an apt integrator of siloed applications, to catapulting organizations for success. ALM 3.0 provides actionable insights for Project Management Officers to improve the quality of deliverables. ALM, in combination with Continuous Delivery and DevOps, enable organizations to provide value based deliverables for their customers. Additionally, there is a lot of buzz around ADLM (Application Development Lifecycle Management)--a resultant of marriage of ALM and DevOps.With organizational behemoths like Microsoft and HP expanding their interests in the ALM and ADLM landscape, the future for ALM holds substance. There is plethora of software vendors dedicatedly delivering ALM solutions to empower organizations to effectively tackle the `age of consumer', and drive innovation. Our editorial team has evaluated hundreds of such vendors who have managed to stay afloat in the constantly maturing ALM landscape and have created a niche market for themselves. We hope this ALM special edition will help you gain insights into some of the most promising solutions, and enable you to take informed decision for employing ALM strategy.Let us know your thoughts.
