Hi,
the develoment peoples would be in a far better position than I am to answer this question, but basically the ALM will provide us te following features (t be confirmed as for availability i next release) :
Model status :
model qill have a status. We will then be able to make a distinction between models in produciton, Live and model being he dev or Test model.
the admin will flag relevant models as "deployed", which means we will no longer be able to modify the structure of them. Only the lists marked as being Production will be available for change. I encourage you right now to flag the relevant list as being produciton data, since this feature is available, that will allow you to prepare for the ALM
other models will be used as development models, where the admin will be able to edit the structure.
Process :
When necessary, you will "push" the developement model into the test model, and from that into the deployed model. There will be a wizard to assist us.
Anaplan is working on several impact reports / screen that will allow us to see the impact 'changes) durng the process.
Another very interesting feature is the separation of roles and duties. Some peoples will be able to create the model, but ot to see the actual produciton model, and other peoples with grat rights to see the produciton data, will be able to update the Live model with the New model perapared by other peoples.
In summary, all what makes sense seems to be there, together with a lot of feature to ensure safety and reliability.
I am eager to start the Early Adopter programm to test it.
Kind regards;
Michel.
