Organizations quickly realized how much more efficient they could be having integrated
teams that collaboratively define the requirements, plan the releases and sprints, test the
product during development and deploy the latest update in a seamless way

ALM Unifies Test & Dev
With the rise of agile methodologies such as Scrum, XP and Kanban,
these three separate "stove-piped" worlds could no longer exist. The
term Application Lifecycle Management (or ALM) was the unification of
development and testing into a single process
6. ®
®
What is ALM Anyway?
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is really an umbrella term that covers
several different disciplines that traditionally were considered separate:
7. ®

How ALM Brings It All Together
ALM is basically the fusing
together of the disciplines
concerned with all aspects of the
software delivery process.
It encompasses project
management, requirements
management, development,
testing and quality assurance, as
well as customer support and IT
service delivery

How Do We Foster Harmony?

Harmony Across the Disciplines
Testers Developers Managers
We consider each of these three stakeholders groups when
designing features for SpiraTeam, so that everyone in teams can
get the most out of the system working together.

Simplicity = Productivity from Day One
• Less Time Doing: • More Time Doing:
No plugins, customization or
configuration needed day one

If all you have is an ‘issue’ tracker…
Then everything is an issue…

Instead, SpiraTeam Guides Your Process
1. Create Product
2. Add Users to Product (Membership)
3. Follow Product Workflow:
