Summary
"ALM is an entire approach, or perhaps mindset, covering all stages of the development lifecycle, from the requirements phase to the retirement of an application. ALM can, when well defined and automated, vastly improve business value in terms of delivering IT systems that will support the business processes for an organization. Done right, the ALM concept can help an organization's IT system to better adjust to changes in the business processes, giving the organization a competitive edge on the market. This book will show you how VSTS can implement an ALM process in your organization and help you achieve better business value at the same time."--Jacket
