Application Lifecycle Management (ALM 2.0) regards the process of delivering software as a continuously repeating cycle of inter-related steps: definition, design, development, testing, deployment and management.

The coordination of development life-cycle activities, including requirements, modeling, development, build, and testing, through:

1. Enforcement of processes that span these activities
2. Management of relationships between development artifacts used or produced by these activities; and
3. Reporting on progress of the development effort as a whole.

Agile ALM methods and tools are a key part of a IT/ software organization's application infrastructure to help them deliver great applications and software, provide visibility to organizational projects and enable greater colaboration and alignment between business and It, between customer and service provider or between marketing and engineering! « less
