About this Item

Neuware -You can have the best coders in the world working in your teams, but if your project management isn't up to scratch, your project is almost certain to be delayed, to come in over budget, and in some cases to fail entirely. By taking precise control of your application development process, you can make changes, both large and small, throughout your project's life cycle that will lead to better¿quality finished products that are consistently delivered on time and within budget.Application lifecycle management (ALM) is an area of rapidly growing interest within the development community. Because its techniques allow you to deal with the process of developing applications across many areas of responsibility and across many different disciplines, its effects on your project can be wide ranging and pronounced. It is a project management tool that has practical implications for the whole team¿from architects to designers, from developers to testers.This book focuses on the most powerful ALM tool available for the Microsoft .NET Framework: Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). It demonstrates the key concepts and techniques of ALM and illustrates how they can be achieved using the tools VSTS provides in a clear succinct style. After reading the book, you will understand how VSTS can be used to generate continuous meaningful reporting on your project's health for the decision makers on your team as well as for your project's sponsors.APress in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 348 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

This book seeks to bring the powerful project management philosophies of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to the VSTS development environment. These techniques can greatly increase the chances of a project’s successful completion – on time and within budget – and can be applied to projects both large and small with equal success. VSTS has always had the capability to support ALM but this capability has not been widely recognised in the past. This is now changing with Microsoft now actively promoting ALM and evangelising its use through their development teams.
