Governance refers to the process of defining, implementing, and enforcing policies and procedures for managing software development and deployment activities. In both Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and DevOps, governance is an important aspect that ensures that the software development process is efficient, effective, and compliant with relevant regulations and standards.

In ALM, governance involves creating and enforcing policies and procedures for managing the software development lifecycle. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, establishing development standards and practices, and ensuring that software development activities are aligned with business goals and objectives. ALM governance also involves managing risks and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

In DevOps, governance involves defining policies and procedures for managing the entire software development and deployment pipeline. This includes defining standards for version control, automated testing, continuous integration and deployment, and security. DevOps governance also involves monitoring and measuring performance metrics, identifying areas for improvement, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Overall, governance is critical to the success of software development and deployment activities in both ALM and DevOps. Effective governance ensures that software development activities are aligned with business goals and objectives, risks are managed effectively, and compliance with relevant regulations and standards is maintained.

Typically the life of an application starts with a business case that’s been developed using Business Case Development (BCD) methodologies. Many organizations are using Project Management methodologies to transform the business case to a real application and Project Portfolio Management. When the first initial release is deployed into production the application responsibility typically move from the Project Portfolio Management (PPM) to the Application portfolio Management (APM).

ALM governance focus the discipline of IT asset management of software assets and this process becomes increasingly important as organization grow, mature and collect more software assets.

ALM provides effective processes and guidelines for onboarding new technologies and applications as well as retiring those that have served their purpose.

Most business processes undergo constant re-evaluation, but most deployed applications don’t, making the application remain fixed while the business process change around them. ALM Governance cover the entire lifecycle and continually re-evaluate insights.
