Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and DevOps: Software Delivery Excellence

This course provides a comprehensive, process-oriented overview of managing software applications from initial product conception through retirement. It defines the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) framework, differentiating it from the SDLC. Students will gain practical skills in key phases, including Requirements Management, Version Control (Git), Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Testing, and DevOps methodologies, ensuring high-quality, efficient software delivery.
