Archie's take
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is best suited for large, highly regulated organizations that need rigorous traceability and control across the entire engineering lifecycle. Its standout strength is the breadth and depth of its integrated toolset—covering requirements, modeling, test management, and change control—which is hard to match for complex, multi-disciplinary projects (think aerospace, automotive, or defense). However, ELM comes with significant implementation complexity, a steep learning curve, and a price tag that only makes sense if you truly need enterprise-grade governance and compliance. For smaller teams or those without mature process discipline, ELM is likely overkill both in terms of cost and operational overhead.
