Arthur C. Clarke’s 3rd Law

“the impossible must become possible. the possible must become routine. the routine must become easy. and the easy must become beautiful.”

Doug Henning’s creedo

Are we at beautiful yet? There is still work to be done to incorporate business requirements directly into ALM toolset.

Project Rosario is addressing.

Portfolio planning – Portfolio Server integration (via Project Server)Project planning – Project Server integration + lightweight schedulingRequirements Capture and Validation (Partner Ecosystem)Requirements Traceability - Hierarchical Linking and QueryingReporting dashboards and enhanced reportsProcess Authoring and Customization

Software Factories – Guided Development ExperienceEnhanced DB Refactorings + Refactoring into App TierT-SQL Static Analysis and Code CoveragePolicy Extended to the DB TierGated CheckinTest Prioritization - Determine what are the most important tests to runTest Case ManagementTest Execution (Functional and Manual Testing)“Eliminate the No Repro Problem” – Test / Diagnostics Integration

Current state is near impossible

Possible to solve if we understand that development is a team activityA tool that addresses all ALM Roles makes ALM part of the workday.A tool that requires roles to communicate and provides seamless supporting features
