Content and Format Overview

This document includes a series of diagrams that illustrate the domain model for the related elements of the complete, end-to-end application lifecycle management scenario as implemented by Serena Software. These diagrams lay out the different types of objects that comprise the Serena solutions for each of these domains (such as development management and release management). The objects are simply the components that each domain includes. For example, development management includes change request and task objects. Every object is described for your reference. In this sense, you can regard this document as an illustrated glossary of Serena Orchestrated ALM concepts.
