OpenText ALM Advanced – Managing lifecycles individually

This training course is aimed at experienced users of OpenText ALM and project managers who want to manage their software projects efficiently and adapt the tool specifically to company-specific requirements. The focus is on the customisation of ALM for complex project and organisational structures. Participants will deepen their knowledge in the areas of requirements, testing, defect management and release control. Topics such as baselining, multi-project organisation, synchronisation with other tools and site administration will be covered using practical examples. In addition, they will learn how to configure ALM individually using templates, role and permission concepts and workflow scripting. The training is rounded off with comprehensive reporting, which enables transparent analysis of requirements, test progress and defect status – for well-founded project decisions.
