Application lifecycle management is the lifecycle management of applications and includes governance, development and maintenance. For everyone working with [[Power Platform]] ALM includes setting up [[environment]] strategies, managing [[Solutions]], automating deployment e.g. with [[pipelines]] in DevOps etc. Related to this is the [[Center of Excellence]] (CoE) Starter Kit which is a set of templates provided by Microsoft which you can use in order to set up your own Center of Excellence.

== Basic Process ==
 +
A basic ALM process could contain the following 3 pipelines
 +
 +
=== Create Export from DEV ===
 +
This build pipeline would:
 +
* Export the solution from DEV
 +
* Do some Quality Gates (for example run solution Checker)
 +
* Unpack the solution
 +
* Check it into source control
 +
 +
It could also handle stuff like:
 +
* Set correct version
 +
* Deploy code components (JS, Plugins, PCFs, ...) before exporting
 +
* ...
 +
 +
=== Build Managed Solution ===
 +
The second build pipeline would create a managed solution from the repository and publish it as an artefact.

}}
 +
 +
=== Deploy to Downstream environments ===
 +
The last part of a basic process would be a Release Pipeline to deploy the created artefact to the downstream environments.
