Understanding the fundamentals of application lifecycle management (ALM) means knowing how to manage requirements, control change and safeguard quality across the life of your application. Learn how to apply ALM principles and deliver quality rich products quickly.

This course provides a solid foundation in how to successfully manage application development, from inception of the project through delivery. Participants in the course will develop a solid understanding in the critical aspects of successfully delivering a project.

What You Will Learn

1. Where ALM fits in the overall program and organization.
2. How ALM integrates with and influences the organization and the project.
3. How ALM differs from PPM and ITCM.
4. Best practices for requirements management, validation, and reconciling customer expectations.
5. Change management and change control strategies that work in your organization.
6. Quality management and testing strategies from project inception to delivery.
7. How to manage project goals in both waterfall and agile environments.

In addition to critical ALM principles, the course covers best practices that support healthy project goals, including continuous integration, testing, and delivery; moving beyond “Office ALM;” driving quality upstream; project automation; and an overview of tools that support ALM activities.

Applying ALM will provide the tools you need to reduce the costs of defects, tighten project cycle time, and use metrics to stay on top of project health.

This course is facilitated in an interactive environment. Students will participate in exercises, review course materials and attend lectures and video segments. Course materials include handouts, exercises, supplementary readings, and a course textbook.

Making Distance Learning More Effective

“When we set out to develop our distance learning programs we wanted to make sure the student experience rivaled in-classroom training. Most distance learning programs don’t support group exercises, one on one time with your instructor, and open discussion periods — we wanted to be different. That’s why we have put so much time into developing our coursework and the unique tools that make it work. I’m confident you’ll agree that our programs are in many ways more effective than in-classroom sessions.“ — Zacharias J. Beckman, President & CEO

The Advantages of Distance Learning

Every Hyrax University course strives to deliver training that is better than courses available through in-classroom programs. Each course follows a unique format that takes advantage of the strengths of distance learning.

1. Our courses combine pre-recorded video presentations from instructors with live WebEx sessions that involve the entire class. Students have regular sessions during which questions can be raised and group discussions can be explored.
2. Self-directed training tools are provided with your course. Materials include presentations, available in both audio and visual formats; accompanying materials made available for download and study; self-direct web-based research; and offline study.
3. Training activities are scheduled over time, at about one or two hours a day. This means students can take what they’ve learned and apply it on a daily basis, resulting in vastly increased knowledge retention.
4. Course presentations are highly interactive, including dynamic exercises, workshop activities, and chapter quizzes.
5. Unlike a traditional classroom session, your distance learning course allows you to review and repeat lectures and presentations at your own pace.
6. Students can schedule one-on-one time with their instructor, using WebEx conferencing, during regular office hours.
7. Training is directed at the pace most suitable to your schedule. While courses do schedule regular, group activities and presentations, you can also move at your own pace.
8. Each course includes an appropriate student packet, usually consisting of a course textbook and often including additional materials (see your course syllabus for details). All materials will be shipped to you before the start of your class.
