Concepts Features Integration

Managing the application lifecycle

Key areas includeKey areas include:Product ManagementChange Request ManagementBuild, Promotion, and/or Release ManagementOverall lifecycle asset or Project Management

By identifying those areas that are impacted by change, the Product Manager is better prepared to effectively manage the evolution of the application.

Making the case for configuration & change management

“One of the most important pieces of

application development is the management of

the actual software development process, and CM is a method by which companies can

keep track of that process.”

– Hurwitz Group

“80 percent of software projects are late, over

budget, or abandoned due to poor software

configuration management.”

– Ovum Evaluates:

Configuration Management

What is SCM ?

Software Configuration Management (SCM) A discipline that supports and controls modifications to all key

assets within a software development lifecycle Integrates with all other lifecycle stages and tools

The primary components of an effective SCM solution include ALL of the following: Version Control Process Management Audit and Security Build Management Change Management Release Management Task Management

Common SCM Tasks

Version Control Check out/check in Revision history Branching and merging Project views

Change Management Defect tracking Enhancement lists Requirement specification Linking/traceability

Task Management Task creation/status Recording work

Process Management Workflow definition Entry/exit criteria Notifications Approval tracking Security enforcement

Build Management Compilation Identifying dependencies

Release Management Labeling Promotion States Deployment

What is StarTeam?

StarTeamStarTeam is a Software Configuration Management (SCM) and Change

Management Solution.

Unified Repository For All Assets

StarTeam provides a single, integrated interface for managing files, change requests, requirements, tasks, and

topics

All asset types are stored within the same

project and folder structures

StarTeam’s unique Project and View

definitions provide unlimited flexibility for

sharing/restricting assets

Automated File Status Tracking

History view shows all revisions and identifies which revision working

version is based on

Real-time file status indicates how working

folders compare to latest server versions

“Group By” options let developers perform bulk

operations quickly

Powerful branching and merging capabilities make parallel

development easy, no matter what the size of the team or the number of concurrent releases

Flexible Branching and Merging

Graphical wizards quickly create branches and provide prompts for merging when necessary

Viewing branches or performing “time travel” is just a matter of

a few mouse clicks

Customizable Filters and Queries

These filters and queries can either be user-specific or “public” objects that any

other StarTeam user can select

Options include sorting, grouping, queries, context,

and column order and membership

Custom filters and queries let the user select exactly

how and what data is presented in the object

browser panes

Filter definitions are defined graphically, without the need for programming

experience

Integrated Task Management

Tasks are native objects that the StarTeam

Server understands

Tasks can be entered in StarTeam or synchronized

from Microsoft ProjectWork records can be added by

StarTeam users to identify actual time spent performing

task and are synchronized back into Microsoft Project

Customizable Workflow & Forms

Graphical workflow definition allows

customization of StarTeam process rules and enforces

standards

Workflow definition stored in StarTeam Server as

configuration items so client deployment is automatic

Make the process fit your environment - not the other

way around!

Alternate Property Editors provide custom user

interface and can be setup for all object types

Alternate Property Editors are also stored in StarTeam

Server as configuration items

Delphi 2006 Embedded Integration

Integrations are subject to all process rules and workflow and security

restrictions just like any other StarTeam client type

Embedded IDE Client provides full StarTeam functionality

within the developer’s environment without and

context-switching

Agenda

What is Requirements Management?

Requirements Management: Ensures a project meets end-user needs that

are feasible and within approved project scope.

Establishes a common understanding of: Business Requirements User Requirements Functional Requirements Nonfunctional Requirements

Manages changes to those requirements.

A continuous process of managing requirements from their inception to implementation and maintenance.

Note: Most Studies have shown that requirement errors typically constitute between 40 and 60% of the total number of errors, while design and code defects combined attribute to only a third of the errors. That’s a pretty significant difference.

The Quality Lever

Three approaches to requirements automation

Document-centric requirements CaliberRM 6.0 provides many benefits in a very easy to use GUI. Through

the use of HTML, and improvements in editing and document production, CaliberRM is leading the way. CaliberRM is now the momentum leader in this space.

Developer-centric requirements CaliberRM integrations into C#B, TCC, TJB, VS.NET, and Delphi (C++, JB

and Eclipse coming soon) ensure that the developers are always and easily kept “in the know.” If the developer isn’t made aware of the requirements, why bother doing them? CaliberRM is the clear leader in this space.

Infrastructure-centric requirements CaliberRM has an open API and the ability to amplify the Voice of the

Customer throughout the ALM. Live link integration without the need for import / export is also a clear technical advantage. CaliberRM is the clear leader in this space.

Building a requirements community…

Begin with requirements experts…who understand the importance of requirements automationAdd subject matter experts…who want to express requirements in the ways that make sense to themSupport the management of additional definition artifacts…Use Cases, Scenarios, Storyboards, Requests, User stories, etc.Provide a variety of output formats… targeted at various demographicsUse change notification…to ensure everyone stays in the loopIntegrate with other key ALM technologies…and customize to fit your process…

Requirements

Metcalfe’s Law

Metcalfe's Law: the value of a network grows by the square of the size of the network.

Originally referring to network theory, it can also be extended to the “network” of subject matter experts and stakeholders defining a system (or building an ALM project) – a “network of people” or “capability network”

Due of Metcalfe's Law, the largest “network” always wins over smaller networks, even if the smaller network has some larger initial value due to some special-purpose feature or benefit.

As the size of the network increases, the value accelerates

Augmentation and aggregation are key…

Requirements

Knowledge

Information

Intelligence

ALM Fundamentals

Attention is the scarce resource – solutions must help clients manage signal-to-noise ratio

Unfiltered information must be available– solutions which require summary translation from medium-to-medium change the message

Context switching must be minimized – solutions which force users to continually change contexts steal productivity

Member aggregation is more important than the amount or type of resource owned

Value increases exponentially as stakeholders are engaged in the process

What happens without integration?

Cutting the value network into pieces…

The law is usually quoted in terms of growth of the network, but we can run Metcalfe's Law in reverse and use it to characterize the effect of cutting a network into pieces:

The value of partitioning a network into N isolated components is 1/N'th the value of the original network.

So, what does that mean?

Without tight integration, potential value lies untappedMomentum from each discipline is self containedNo cross-project synergies

With tight integration – momentum, velocity and synergy help deliver value
