Outline Guiding Principles for Team Concert Demo Join a team and fix a bug Support for Agile Teams 2

Jazz and Team Concert Jazz is a technology platform Rational Team Concert the first Jazz based product 3

Collaborative Development Environments The purpose of a Collaborative Development Environment is to create a frictionless surface for development by eliminating of automating many of the daily, non-creative activities of the individual and the team and by providing mechanisms that encourage creative, healthy, and high-bandwidth modes of communication among a project s stakeholders Grady Booch Guiding Principles for Team Concert Integration of work flows and artifacts Team First the tools know about the team Collaboration on artifacts/work products following the rules of the team (Process) Transparency/visibility into what is happening in project for everybody 4

Rational Team Concert SCM Change sets Streams Components Parallel development GDD ClearCase Connector Work Items Defects, Enhancements Task tracking, planning Queries Approvals Iteration planning ClearQuest Connector Build Work Item and Change Set Traceability Supports Ant, Maven and Command line Tools Personal Builds Integration with Build Forge Project, Teams, Users Process enactment, customization, permissions In-context Collaboration, Events, Presence Reporting, Dashboards (project, team, personal) Jazz Team Server 5

Integration Tools should be invisible Users work and collaborate on tasks Integrated flows Linked artifacts Work Items SCM Build Reports Project Mgt. joining a team what is happening in the team? following the team s process starting an ad hoc/dynamic/tiger team Fix a bug find out if a fix is in the build? run a personal build Tools tracking a broken build reconstructing a context for a bug/build failure x interrupting development due to a high priority bug fix working on multiple releases concurrently tracking the code review of a fix tracking status Tasks 6

Team First Tools know the Team Process Work Categories Streams is responsible delivers Team follows owns has Members produces Build Dashboard monitors Events generates defines Release/ Iteration Plan 7

Collaboration Rules: Process Teams work on projects each project follows a process different processes for different projects Process manifested through: artifact types and their states preconditions and follow-up actions on operations manipulating artifacts Eclipse Way Jazz Way Scrum OpenUP artifact change events roles and permissions Described with Process templates Process can evolve as project progresses 8

Transparency/Visibility Knowing what is going on without having to ask Transparency in process team structure team roles team rules Transparency in development automatic linking build results/reports Dashboards/Reports for an individual for a team For a project 9

Team Concert support for Agile Teams Eclipse/RAD supports agile practices for a team member Refactoring Unit testing, test coverage Team Concert provides agility for a team Teams Process templates Agile process specific work item types Iteration planning Continuous integration Agile SCM practices Visibility/transparency 15

Process Templates Different agile templates available: Agile Scrum OpenUP Eclipse Way Agile process specific work item types Process can be tweaked at any time 16

Teams Easy to set-up easy to get started Dynamic teams Team owns its process 17

Team Awareness Events My events Team events Team central Team visibility/awareness User presence 18

Iteration Planning Planning integrated with bug/defect tracking Process template define process specific work item types Work break down (Stories, Tasks) Team load 19

Iteration Planning applied for Scrum 20

Visibility: Reports/Dashboards Burndown charts Configurable dashboards Visibility for everyone 21

Continuous Integration Build results integrated into eclipse Build awareness Linkage between Work item fixed in build Build corresponding to a Build and release change-sets in build Personal builds 22

Agile SCM Best Practices* Jazz SCM supports agile best practices Refactoring tracking enables aggressive/agile refactoring Private versions Easy collaboration on change sets Attach to work item Delivery rules Suspending changes And more * Software Configuration Management, Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration By Steve Berczuk with Brad Appleton Published by Addison-Wesley 25

Scaling-up: Teams of Teams Team Team stream Sharing change sets Continuous build Team events Teams of Teams Integration/stabilization streams Sharing baselines Integration builds A contributor can be a member of more than one team 26

Summary: Agile Practice Coverage Impediments Burndown Sprint Review Meeting Daily Stand-up Scrum Refactoring Test First Sprints Iterations Acceptance Test Continuous Integration Retrospectives Product Backlog Pair programming Stories P Onsite Customer Unit Test Task level commit Smoke Test Agile SCM Patterns* Private workspace Task Branch Integration Build Private Versioning Code line Policy Private System Build 27

Integrations with Others Import Bridge Connectors One way data migration Bugzilla repository SVN Bridge links work items with change sets. Mylin repository connector (incubator) Two way data synchronization Jazz Repository Jazz Repository CVS or SVN repository Subversion repository Jazz Repository ClearCase (Base and UCM) 28 28
