Overview/Description
The central component of the APL development phase is the software iteration. Visual Studio provides tools and techniques to support software iterations management and overall application project management – the product Backlog. This course details available requirements, tools, and methodologies associated with the management of project requirements, ranging from team management, iteration control, capacity; manpower and resource management, project tracking, prioritization, effort, business value, project health validation, and reporting. In this course, you will also learn about techniques and practices that promote software iteration end value and that support the discovery of application requirements, assist with requirement breakout and inter-dependency, and sustain the development of a dynamic project development plan.

Overview/Description
Application Lifecycle Management is a central component of the Visual Studio IDE. Supported via the implementation of Agile, Scrum, and CMMI templates, Visual Studio supports the mapping of development practices to well-established development methodologies, and provides necessary tools to support the end-to-end ALM process and to bring value and efficiencies. This course covers Application Lifecycle Management with respect to the adoption of established methodologies including Agile, Scrum (Agile) and CMMI (Waterfall). You will learn about the implementation of Agile and Scrum with respect to team development and the supporting Visual Studio toolset. In addition, the course outlines the implementation of the Microsoft Solutions Framework to improve the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) process.
