- 2. Audience Software Engineers Database Engineers QA Engineers Implementation Engineers Project managers
- 3. Objective Create central location for team communication Integrate with different services for deliver notifications(ex - VS Online , JIRA) All Content is Searchable from One Search Box File Sharing Code Snippets One to One and Private Groups Accessible Anywhere
- 4. What is Slack ? - Slack is a team communication tool that allows for synchronous communication on different devices. - The app seems simple at first, but there are powerful features that make this the fastest growing app ever - Slack is not just a simple chat room. - It is a communications hub that simplifies the day-to-day work of modern agile teams

- 7. Procedure
- 8. DSM Conduct Daily standup meetings through the Slack Jira Task Notify Integrate JIRA service for track task status VSO CICD Integrate Visual studio online service for track Builds,commits and merge details Notify Errors Integrate NewRelic service for track Application errors Integrate SQL MONITOR service for track database issues Real time response Test and fixed issues before effect to the client process
- 9.

- 13. Application Deployment With Slack After every build , Visual studio online return message to the Slack . Developers know what happen to their new builds. If new build success then developers know latest code deployed into the cloud without any build issues. Testers can start their testing after deliver success build notifications.
- 14. Live Operations with Slack(Release to production)
- 15. Stage One 1 -> Monitor JIRA item status change, identify code deployment details , conduct DSM(for remote teams) and identify application issues in production. 2 -> 3 -> Monitor JIRA item status change, communicate with remote DEV teams.
- 16. Stage Two 4 -> Track individual commits, identify build failures, identify applications issues ,code review and manage DEV teams. 5 -> check build status, track other commits ,communicate with other teams and identify applications issues. 6 -> Identify data base issues and database changes. 7 -> Monitor database changes and manage DB teams to achieve goals. 8 -> Identify JIRA item status change ,identify new deployment details and track application issues. 9 -> Manage QA teams and check JIRA task status change.
- 17. Stage Three 10 -> Identify new code deployment details and communicate with remote teams. 11 -> Manage all remote teams and track each individuals/teams support for achieve sprint goals.
- 18. DSM with Slack DSM(Daily Standup Meeting) is part of the Agile Project management, Agile teams can create separate channel for DSM in Slack. Slack support to share DSM notes and also helps to share files , code snapshots etc…. Agile team members can tag other team members ,then share their notes with them, when there are in online or offline during DSM time. Agile team members , who worked in remote locations( eg:-Work from home) can use different devices( eg:- Mobile device) for access slack application to participate DSM.
- 19. Improve Testing use in Slack - QA Engineers can identify application and database issues use in Slack channels. - Slack deliver JIRA notifications related to task status change. - Slack support to work form remote locations ,Dev teams and testing teams can work different places and communicate use in slack channels.
- 20. Project management with Slack - Create private channel for communication. - Collect testing ,development and deployment details use in Slack channels. - Use slack storage for share files , images etc… Check more details from here http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-slack-project-management-simple-tips/
