Dmitry Lapygin

Application lifestyle management (ALM) evolution has recently accelerated in response to the need to improve software quality while also implementing solutions faster and reducing project budgets.

Efficiency of Agile approaches to software development in such situation has been demonstrated in smaller projects. IBM Rational evolution aimed at ensuring Agile ALM support has resulted in the emergence and development of the Jazz platform that is being actively improved by IBM, its partners and the jazz.net user community. This keynote covers main areas of this platform development and IBM Rational tools’ functionality on Jazz.
