Introduction to PPM Solution Integrations
PPM integrations support Change Management and Release Management within your organization. Some of these integrations use Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) content bundle, which adds to PPM a set of entities that support standard Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes. These entities can be configured to meet your business needs.
