The application lifecycle management (ALM) accelerator components enable makers to apply source-control strategies with Azure DevOps, and use automated builds and deployment of solutions to their environments without the need for manual intervention by the maker, administrator, developer, or tester. In addition, the ALM accelerator helps makers work without intimate knowledge of downstream technologies and switch quickly from developing solutions to source-controlling the solution and, ultimately, pushing their apps to other environments with as few interruptions to their work as possible.

The ALM accelerator doesn't have a dependency on other components of the CoE Starter Kit. It can be used independently.

Set up the ALM accelerator by using the ALM Accelerator for Power Platform Administration app

The ALM Accelerator for Power Platform Administration app includes functionality to help you setup your Azure DevOps projects using the Azure DevOps Project wizard.
