Background
• Distributed team• Information in e-mails and
documents• Poor traceability• Lack of transparency• Coordination overhead
Challenges
• Customer expecting fast and correct deliverables
• Need of early warning on the development status
• Very high quality expectation• Limited resources could be
dedicated to this
What we needed
• Process support - “our way”• Planning and change support• Seamless and transparent
communication• Happy developers• Low overhead• Cost efficient
How we solved it
• IBM Rational Team Concert– Web based tool– Adapted Scrum process template– Role based process (PM, Scrum
master, Developer and Admin)– Iteration planning– Integrated stories, code changes– Information sharing through live
dashboard– Integrated with development
environment (Eclipse)
Our way of working1. Ideas (Whiteboard)2. Initial architecture (RSA)
3. Create project4. PM creates timeline with iterations5. PM creates product backlog6. Associate stories with iterations
7. Developers work on stories from iterations8. Developers update a story by setting status and
associating changed code9. A developer assigns an implemented story to tester10. Tester checks that story works11. Repeat for all stories in iteration
12. All persons involved monitor Dashboard with real-time progress and changes – transparency / openness
13. Perform re-planning and change management14. Repeat for all iterations
15. Release involves additional testing and documentation. RTC guides to changes since the previous release.
16. Release
