The IT life cycle describes the phases from the creation to the decommissioning of IT products, systems and platforms.

Application Life Cycle Management refers to the implementation, coordination and monitoring of the various phases for the introduction and maintenance of software.

This seminar offers you not only a comprehensive insight into the IT life cycle, but also practical solutions for the identification, evaluation and comparison of IT products. In the various phases from the creation to the decommissioning of IT products, systems and platforms, you will become familiar with the steps of application lifecycle management, including implementation, coordination, monitoring, project management, requirements management, design, development, quality assurance or release management and optimization.

The evaluation from an IT lifecycle perspective provides you with a sound basis for decision-making on important issues such as make or buy, forecasting IT system costs and the planned replacement of legacy systems.
