What makes you cringe when you think of when upgrading QC/ALM

A. Planning and coordination

B. Technical requirements

C. Project migration and upgrade

D. Training

E. Timing and support


Disrupting attributes

Problem of upgrading or migrating

Coordination, scheduling, and management

•Supporting and maintaining customization •Upgrading individual projects •Planning •Features versus practicality •Risk

Training

•The single most costly item for an upgrade/migration is the training

• The reluctant of External adoption and/or processes

•Long term Planning (process and Tech)

Murphy's Law

•Rule one Anything that can go wrong it will go wrong

•If ain't broke don't fix it

•The best laid plans are subject to rule one

We are excited about WebUI on QC and ALM 12.0 Are you ?


The opportunity To optimizing ALM using ALM Diagnostic

Walid


Polling question

Food for thought

If you could instantly improve any aspect of your QC/ALM framework/environment, what would it be?

A. Tool performance

B. Application Lifecycle Management processes

C. Standardization across my QC/ALM projects

D. Integrations (other HP tools of third party)

E. Educating my users on how to better use the tool


What is ALM optimization?

Services or activities that are designed to demonstrate how you,

customers, can get the most out of your existing HP ALM deployment,

promote efficiency and productivity by implementing, fixing or tuning

existing tool features, supporting processes, all leading to a reduction

of operational costs and adoption of proven and mature ALM

methodologies


So why HP ALM optimization?

Maximizing the ROI

You have invested heavily in your HP ALM solution and expect a higher quality in your projects at a reduced cost.

Understanding where the issues are

Issues are bound to occur, the key is to have a process to identify the root cause,

a resolution mechanism in place and educate the users on how to minimize the

frequency of future issues. Adopting an on-going optimization framework is key.

Increase synergies between the tool, processes and the users

A mismanaged tool lead to poor performance, unstructured information, inefficient tool functions, frustrated consumers, inaccurate or lack of visibility into the information, disconnects between processes and resources, ALM optimization promotes order and ALM industry leading best practices leveraging HP QC/ALM.

Reduce operational costs


What is HP ALM/QC Health-Check Workshop?

It uncovers potential inefficiencies in your current HP ALM/QC framework and enables you to optimize your deployment, improve quality and reduce operational costs


HP ALM/QC Health-Check Workshop

HP ALM Diagnostics Tool is an automated data analytics utility that traverses an HP ALM/QC instance through its database and repository while collecting HP ALM/QC specific data points to determine the health status of a deployment.
