	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.

		+	\| title = JIT-Build Environment
		+	\| text = There might be problems with creating a JIT-Build Environment on the fly. See the post in Community Resources which contains more information on that.

		+
		+	=== 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.
