Managing the application lifecycle

By identifying those areas that are

impacted by change

, the Product Manager is better prepared to effectively manage the evolution of the application.

Key areas include

:  Product Management  Change Request Management  Build, Promotion, and/or Release Management  Overall lifecycle asset or Project Management

Making the case for configuration & change 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 Change Management Task Management Build Management Release 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?

StarTeam

is a Software Configuration Management (SCM) and Change Management Solution.

StarTeam Is The “M” In ALM

 Software Configuration and Change Management (SCM)  Integrations are vital to success

Unified Repository For All Assets

StarTeam’s unique Project and View definitions provide unlimited flexibility for sharing/restricting assets All asset types are stored within the same project and folder structures StarTeam provides a single, integrated interface for managing files, change requests, requirements, tasks, and topics

Automated File Status Tracking

Real-time file status indicates how working folders compare to latest server versions “Group By” options let developers perform bulk operations quickly History view shows all revisions and identifies which revision working version is based on

Flexible Branching and Merging

Powerful branching and merging capabilities make parallel development easy, no matter what the size of the team or the number of concurrent releases Viewing branches or performing “time travel” is just a matter of a few Graphical wizards quickly create branches and provide prompts for merging when necessary

Customizable Filters and Queries

Custom filters and queries let the user select exactly how and what data is presented in the object browser panes Options include sorting, grouping, queries, context, and column order and membership These filters and queries can either be user-specific or “public” objects that any other StarTeam user can select Filter definitions are defined graphically, without the need for programming experience

Integrated Task Management

Work records can be added by StarTeam users to identify actual time spent performing task and are synchronized back into Microsoft Project Tasks are native objects that the StarTeam Server understands Tasks can be entered in StarTeam or synchronized from Microsoft Project

Customizable Workflow & Forms

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 Graphical workflow definition allows customization of StarTeam process rules and enforces standards Make the process fit your environment - not the other way around!

Workflow definition stored in StarTeam Server as configuration items so client deployment is automatic

Delphi 2006 Embedded Integration

Embedded IDE Client provides full StarTeam functionality within the developer’s environment without and context-switching Integrations are subject to all process rules and workflow and security restrictions just like any other StarTeam client type

What is Requirements Management?

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

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.

The Source of Software Defects

Requirements Errors (56%) Design Errors (27%) Other Errors (10%)

Source: James Martin, An Information Systems Manifesto

Coding Errors (7%)

The Cost to Fix Software Defects

Requirements Errors (82%) Design Errors (13%) Other Errors (4%)

Source: James Martin, An Information Systems Manifesto

Coding Errors (1%)

Sources of Defects

Logic Design 28% Others 7% Data 6% Interface 6% Documentation 2% Human 5% Environment 5% Requirements 41%

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.

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…

Requirements  Begin with requirements experts…who understand the importance of requirements automation  Add subject matter experts…who want to express requirements in the ways that make sense to them  Support the management of additional definition artifacts…Use Cases, Scenarios, Storyboards, Requests, User stories, etc.

 Provide a variety of output formats… targeted at various demographics  Use change notification…to ensure everyone stays in the loop  Integrate with other key ALM technologies…and customize to fit your process…

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…

Data Information Knowledge Intelligence Power

Requirements

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.
