Application Lifecycle Management is the coordination of all aspects of software engineering - including the formulation and communication of business and technical requirements, code design and architecture, project tracking, change management, coding, testing, debugging, and release management - by using tools that facilitate and track collaboration among and within work teams.

Software development is one of the most strategic activities in an organisation, and about more than just writing code in a text editor and compiling it. All companies that do software development should be using a source control system, and beyond that, there is much, much more that can be done to assist in the goal of producing high quality software.

Application development teams that predictably deliver business-critical applications can help a company maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace and drive top-line growth. Effective application lifecycle management can help control costs associated with software errors, and improve development project success rates.

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 aims to provide a full Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution for this purpose. It provides features from the inception of a project to its sunset when a product is “end of life’d”.
