This book is about Agile application lifecycle management (ALM) and brings together the best of two worlds, Agile and ALM.

Bringing ALM and Agile together and using the right tools leads to a modern, efficient way of developing software. Consequently, you’ll reduce costs, boost your productivity, and accelerate your team’s collaboration. And you can make developing software a lot more fun.
