Advanced ALM Strategies with Azure DevOps and GitHub Integration is an advanced-level course designed for DevOps engineers, release managers, and software delivery leaders who want to implement scalable, secure, and policy-driven Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) practices. Taught by experienced DevOps professionals, this course equips learners with the tools and strategies needed to optimize software delivery pipelines across complex enterprise environments.
Through real-world use cases, scenario-based walkthroughs, hands-on activities, and design challenges, learners will explore advanced branching models, secure CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates, and governance frameworks using GitHub, Azure DevOps, and supporting integrations. You'll learn to build traceable workflows, enforce compliance and testing standards, and evaluate your DevOps maturity using monitoring and feedback loops.
By the end of the course, you’ll have designed a personalized ALM blueprint that aligns delivery speed with security, scale, and compliance—ready to apply directly in your organization.
In this introductory lesson, learners will explore how to design advanced branching and integration strategies using GitHub and Azure Repos for enterprise-scale software delivery. From managing cross-functional collaboration to establishing policies and workflows that reduce risk and increase release velocity, this lesson covers the foundation of source control governance in ALM.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
