Geographically distributed software development is fast becoming the norm and managing these wide-spread teams is shaping up to become one of the biggest challenges faced by enterprises today. The increasing complexity of the software being developed is crying out for a new more sophisticated development environment - one that links all these disparate stakeholders while organizing, routing and tracking all of the communication. This webcast will address how common issues with globally distributed application development can be addressed through a single solution -- Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). You will learn how to:
- Effectively manage outsourced development processes. Puts everyone involved – IT Managers, developers, outsourced or in-house – all onto the same system.
- Simplify verification of service level agreements. Provides the accountability necessary to enforce the terms of an outsourcing contract or manage your in-house milestones.
- Reduce risk of intellectual property loss. Ensures only those parts of your code you wish to make available outside the company are accessible and role-specific.
- Improve software change management. Delivers a built-in, structured, repeatable and auditable software development process.
Using the right tools and managing processes mitigate the risks in globally distributed application development – whether your colleague is in the office next door or Bangalore.
