RPALM™ is an accelerated and results-driven methodology:• Designed to provide tactical and strategic key improvement recommendations to go from
current state to desired end state within a proposed timeline. • Stands for ResultsPositive Application Lifecycle Management (RPALM™) Assessment
Methodology• A proprietary methodology designed to be prescriptive and lightweight, covering 21 topical
areas across 3 main ALM categories.• Prescriptive in that we answer the who, when, how, why, and what through a series of
focused interviews and expert analysis of project artifacts*. • Lightweight in that we employ a results-oriented mindset that delivers a fast, actionable,
comprehensive, and no-frills assessment of your current ALM environment within 3 weeks.• People, Process, and Technology – RPALM™ is an assessment methodology that can be
leveraged at any phase of the system delivery lifecycle.
*The RPALM™ methodology leverages industry expertise of practicing QA Leaders and Test Managers. Derived from real-world experienced QA professionals, RPALM™ cuts straight to the fundamental components that your organizations can employ quickly to gain visibility, reduce costs, increase delivery control, and improve overall solution delivery quality.
What is the RPALM™ assessment methodology?
Provides an objective assessment of current state (‘As-is’):• Analysis and understanding your current business needs • Assess current level of adoption with recommendations for adoption level increase• Assess the level of business value realized from your current ALM investment, while identifying hidden
opportunities to extract more value • Provides an independent audit and health check report with details of identified issues
Confirms desired end state (‘To-be’):• Present and discuss key recommendations • Present and discuss industry best practices detailed for each ALM area discussed• Showcase Overall Maturity Rating with respect to RPALM™ Assessment Methodology* Provides Actionable ALM Implementation Roadmap, including: • Quick wins and low hanging fruit• Short term options and recommendations• Long term options and recommendations
*The RPALM (ResultsPositive ALM™ Assessment Methodology) approach is an actionable methodology aimed at increasing organizational awareness and implementation of tactical ALM principles that ultimately encourages project stakeholders to embrace a holistic ALM-centric approach to software quality management rather than subscribing to a reactive mentality of defect management.
