Timeline

2004—2005

ALM Works was founded in 2004 by Igor Sereda. His idea was to build a new rich GUI platform for building desktop applications, issue tracking, change management and other processes involving workflow and the changing of discrete work items.

In 2005, we released our first commercial product on the ALM platform we were building, Deskzilla. It was followed by another product on the same platform, Jira Client, in 2007.

2006—2007

Later in 2007, we also created a free Virtual Bugzilla Server VMWare appliance to expand our scope to the installation and configuration services. Then we added TrackLink to the product line that allowed developers using IntelliJ IDEA to work with bugs in Deskzilla or issues in Jira Client right in their IDE.

2008—2009

We participated in the very first AtlasCamp developer conference in 2008 and then in the very first Atlassian Summit in 2009. We also became a prominent member of the Atlassian ecosystem.

At the same time, as a part of continuous development of the ALM platform, we created a popular open-source Java library, sqlite4java and other open-source projects.

2010—Now

In 2010, we started working on a new product, Structure, and released the first version in 2011. It soon became a hit with Enterprise Jira customers and allowed us to expand and seek new opportunities.

2017

In 2017, ALM Works joined the Pledge 1% corporate philanthropy movement, pledging 1% of the company's equity, products, and employee time back to the community and good causes.

December 2021

ALM Works joins Tempo Software to take project, program, and portfolio management to a new level.
