    WHAT: Getting ALM2.0+ to Work
          -----------------------
           For many organizations, the ability to deliver software is fundamental to
           business success. New products, services, updates to channels, pricing or
           promotion require changes to applications and websites. Organizations are
           now looking to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to provide
           visibility into this increasingly core business process. ALM promises the
           benefits of business management to the practice of software delivery.
           ALM2.0+ describes the next generation of practices that broaden the
           lifecycle to include operations and the business, while adding
           functionality for planning and collaboration.

           West and Kersten will present patterns for successful ALM adoption for
           mid- and large-scale organizations, and highlight how organizations can
           incrementally obtain the benefits of ALM by connecting silos - one
           stakeholder at a time. The pair will draw on their years of software
           development experience to define a series of ALM integration patterns and
           describe how successful organizations are delivering software more
           efficiently with ALM2.0+ today.

    WHEN: Thurs., April. 19, 9 to 10 a.m. Pacific (Noon Eastern)
