IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Given the rise of distributed teams and the pace of technology change, governing software development cycles has never been more difficult
What we’re hearing…
“2/3 of our projects span multiple business units” “Our architecture needs to be significantly more scalable and flexible” “We’ have a process but our tools don’t enforce it. It’s not serving it’s purpose.” “On time delivery of software is paramount as it is a risk to our business profitability.?” “We have to go where the best talent is, but we have IP and compliance realities”
What we’re seeing…
Increasingly diverse and cross organizational project teams with multiple product architectures Interest in managing software as an asset using flexible, governed software delivery models Software becoming more critical to the operation and on-time delivery of new products Open, customizable, framework enabling new business models

Organizations are responding by going agile, but most lack the infrastructure to succeed Agile: An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach performed in a highly collaborative manner with just the right amount of ceremony to produce high quality software in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders.

While distributed teams were designed to enhance “business agility”, organizational, geographical, and technical silos can make things worse Only 37% of stakeholders are satisfied with the speed of internal application development... Only 42% are satisfied with the quality. 50% of outsourced projects are expected to underperform.
Silos of people, process, and projects
Geographic Barriers Poor communication Language, culture and time differences Process gaps resulting in errors and rework High degree of friction across teams
Organizational Barriers Lack of meaningful stakeholder input Poor LOB oversight Weak project governance Missed opportunities to leverage domain expertise
Infrastructure Barriers Incompatible tools and repositories Unreliable access to common artifacts Lengthy project and team member on-boarding Brittle and inflexible tooling integrations

Team Concert is not just an scm, work item & build tool It’s a collaboration platform that integrates process, planning, and project status end to end “You get real-time task, and release project status by linking estimates and plans directly to execution.”
“It automates collaboration around any artifact and captures traceability that makes it easy to keep everyone informed”

Enables process awareness and guidance Team Advisor • Rules can be run when delivering changes to enforce team or organizational standards • Helps ensure higher quality results through enforcement of agreed-upon standards Using “Rational Method Composer” • Rules are configurable
or “Eclipse Process Framework”
• “Quick Fixes” can be specified to simplify corrective action • Process rules can be defined, refined “on the fly”, enabling continual improvements • Out of the box processes include OpenUP, Scrum, The Eclipse Way, etc

Example: Rational Team Concert and SCRUM process Taskboards show task progress Product Backlog Plan
Progress rolls up into plans (sprint, product backlog)
“Sprint plan” or Iteration Plan also shows backlog priority SDP19
20
IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Backlog Plan Mode Easily rank work items to define priority Ideal for managing SCRUM backlog Support coarse & fine grained prioritization Ranking is reflected in all planning views, e.g. iteration plans and release plans Drag and drop work items to rank them relative to others.

Process “....we currently use a mix of Subversion, Atlassian JIRA and the Hudson continuous build tool, and various extensions that provide some integration between these products. As you might imagine, this causes problems as these tools are not as sophisticated as RTC, and require a careful migration strategy to keep the (limited) integrations working over time.” Peter Hendricks Info Support Netherlands
