TCE Event - The Revolution of Application Lifecycle Management @Krypton
Most R&D organizations face a growing complexity in their technology and business landscape, requiring them to deal with constantly changing, sometimes contradicting, requirements and needs. Rapid technology and business changed have led to a major revolution in Application Lifecycle Management methodologies and tools.
Tikal Knowledge, provider of open source solutions and services, invites you to learn about the new approaches and solutions in Application Lifecycle Management.

Agenda
08:30 – 9:30 : Registration, meet-up and networking
9:30-9:50
ALM retrospective (Ittay Dror, "Tikal")
The concept of Application Lifecycle Management went through dramatic changes from the prehistoric file versioning and local builds to the renaissance of private branching and continuous deployment. Learn how the new methodologies and the rising of dev-ops role helps ALM evolve into the current environment of cloud computing, hybrid platforms and agility.
9:50-10:20
Learn how companies safely push code dozens (hundreds!) of times a day, and reduce their "code inventory". Discuss the architecture, tools and culture needed for Continuous Deployment and how to get there by creating an effective "immune system", using the right infrastructure software, implementing deployment orchestration techniques, and more.
10:20-10:30 Coffee break
10:30-11:20
Parallel development using branch model (Liya Katz & Miron Gofer, "Tikal")
Moving from simple file versioning model to distributed version control, powering branch by purpose model with private branching using subversion and GIT.
Learn how to create a robust change management methodology, integrating version controls to issue tracker, supporting merges, version number policies, and more.
11:20-11:40 Branch break
11:40-12:30
Continuous integration and deployment (Haggai Philip Zagury & Itai Or, "Tikal")
Managing and automating the process of Build->Deploy->Test with Hudson, Eucalyptus and other tools, showing how to move from simple nightly build scripts to fully automated component based integration and continuous deployment.
12:03-13:00 Closing and Networking

in the context of kaChing. Here is a lecture of behind the scenes of Sky's site. You may find it interesting: http://j.mp/hGLfnR
First of all thanks for Tikal's ALM Event. It was my first positive exposure to your community. The covered part of the ALM in the event was very interesting and partially even amazing, especially the 'Continuous Deployment'. But ... speaking of the development lifecycle, somthing was missing. This missing issue is called "Requirements Specification and Management" (RSM). The RSM starts each development project and follow the project through its whole lifecycle. RSM application should be an integral part of the ALM - otherwise ALM is not a revolution.
Is there any reason why the RSM wasn't covered and even not mentioned during the ALM event?
I'm ready, if needed, to contribute my experience and expertise in advancing this issue.
