Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Executive Briefing
May 12, 2008
On Tuesday, I attended an Application Lifecycle Management Executive Briefing event at the local Microsoft offices here in the twin cities:

My agenda:
- Gain a better perspective of ALM best practices from Microsoft’s perspective
- Research on the current pain points and desires of our potential customers
The target audience wasn’t an exact fit for my profile, however, I was expecting to hear about some best practices. I personally felt like the event was more of a sales pitch than anything else. I am very happy that I attended, and I did make several good connections.
Take a ways from the meeting:
- Good relationship building event
- Keeps ALM at the forefront of my mind
- Good discussions on typical problems companies are facing
- Free book: Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (I’ll try to provide a review as I read through)

So how do you feel about Microsoft’s… longer release cycles in relation to ALM?
They have been improving things with their latest attempts with CTPs and such, but it never hurts to “release early and release often”
