Agenda 1 Current market situation 2 IBM Rational Collaboration Lifecycle Management 3 Delivering the 5 ALM imperatives 4 Proven results 25 www.strongback.us
What is required to deliver end-to-end visibility across teams, tools and projects? 26 www.strongback.us
Criteria for effective lifecycle management: ALM imperatives 1. Real-time planning 2. Lifecycle traceability 3. In-Context collaboration 4. Development intelligence 5. Continuous process improvement 27 www.strongback.us
Imperative 1: Real-time planning Tasks Tasks Complete Planned Don’t Do Have plans that live outside of ALM environment Plan across the entire team, not silos, by linking and where requirements, development and test plans are populating development and test plans from disconnected and managed separately, or not at all. requirements. Rely on manual, error-prone updates. Practice continuous planning using lifecycle queries and project dashboards to respond to changing events. Have plans that are separate from team activities and Use plans that are fully integrated with execution assignments. where updating time spent directly from the work item makes easy to keep accurate plans. 28 www.strongback.us
One plan - Multiple views facilitate detailed analysis 1 2 3 29 www.strongback.us
Insure alignment across the business, development and test teams 30 www.strongback.us
Align Plans to improve predictability, value, and quality Developers Developers  No wasted effort – development understand the understand the is qualitative and aligned to the business needs business needs agreed upon requirements at and test effort and test effort the right time  Quality Assured – test teams know exactly what requirements and functionality have and haven’t been tested  Whole team buy-in improves team trust, efficiency and focus Testers understand Sprint Plans Testers understand Sprint Plans and business expectations and business expectations Requirements owners clarify the Requirements owners clarify the business needs in aacollection business needs in collection 31 www.strongback.us
Test your real-time planning capabilities Can your team…  Plan across the entire team?  Plan for waterfall, iterative and agile environments?  Integrate planning with execution?  Instantly see the impact of a change in project scope or resources? 32 www.strongback.us
Imperative 2: Lifecycle traceability Stories Defects Sprint Code Test Scripts Builds Don’t Do Create silos of information with disconnected and Link deliverables and connect the dots so every incompatible tooling and terminology deliverable has the proper upstream and downstream relationship Email copies of deliverables to remote team members Share links to deliverables with related deliverables and break linkages context including reviews and comments from other team members Integrate by replicating data Link critical project deliverable so that the entire team have access to the latest version of the truth 33 www.strongback.us
Team leads improve release quality & predictability  Proactively respond to gaps as they surface through out the project  Issues quickly highlighted and resolved Issue Incomplete Complete 34 www.strongback.us
Team leads can improves quality and predictability Developers Developers  Creating a shared vision delivers understand the understand the what the stakeholders want requirements, test requirements, test criteria and test criteria and test  Whole team buy-in improves results team trust, efficiency and focus results  Everyone knows what work is needed by whom and when.  Traceability provides insight to knowing when you are DONE! Testers define and execute Testers define and execute tests cases with aaclear tests cases with clear Teams collaborate and clarify the Teams collaborate and clarify the understanding of understanding of details of requirements details of requirements requirements requirements 35 www.strongback.us
Linked data is visible on all artifacts  All roles can view the links on their artifacts.  Each user has their own perspective and user interface for viewing links.  Create, delete, navigate links on artifacts  Example: Developer sees the relationships on a defect  Traceability links on defects are automatically created 36 www.strongback.us
Automated defect traceability reduces costs and improves quality Testers execute tests and Testers execute tests and submit defects submit defects  4-clicks to submit a defect automatically linked to impacted artifacts  Test results are recorded and linked to test cases, and associated requirements  Test results can be linked to software builds  Everyone has visibility into the defects, their impact, and the action taken to resolve Developers can see them Developers can see the exact test failure the exact test failure without having to without having to ask and remediate it ask and remediate it 37 www.strongback.us
Test your lifecycle traceability capabilities Can your team answer these questions… Analyst Project Manager Which requirements are Can we pass Are we ready addressed in this iteration? to release? Are all of the an audit? requirements tested? What defects were What’s the quality of the resolved in this release? high priority requirements? What defects are reported What tradeoffs can we maketo against which requirements? release on time? Developer Release Engineer Quality Professional What requirements How can I standardize when teams What is the quality am I implementing? What test use different tools? of the build? What uncovered this defect, on which environment Where are the Are build times has changed and what build? bottlenecks getting longer that I need to test? How can I recreate the in our processes? or shorter? last version to What defects have been do a patch? What changes How can I speed up my builds? addressed since the last build? occurred overnight? 38 www.strongback.us
Imperative 3: In-Context collaboration Don’t Do Unified teams share linked data providing visibility into Create an environment of silo’d teams and each others work. disconnected data Manually collect status reports or wait for status meetings to take action Collaboration is also about knowing what is going on without having to ask. Dashboards and traceability views provide real-time status of the team’s progress. All discussions in work items integrated on the plan. Rely on email discussions. Use lifecycle queries to answer more meaningful questions such as “Which requirements are affected by defects? 39 39 www.strongback.us
In-context Collaboration always shows the latest Recent Threaded discussions highlighted on requirements Threaded discussions on requirements Unread work Items bolded for developers 40 www.strongback.us
Dashboards summarize for quick access to the latest information Requirements comment updates Feeds focused on Requirement comments focus stakeholders on changes and strip out the noise of attributes changes etc.. Any changes to a Requirement Feeds on all changes give project leads visibility into all requirements changes so that know exactly what is changing by whom and can access immediately assess the impact for the team. 41 www.strongback.us
Rich hovers automate information access without having to click  Rich hovers provide quick access to information to determine if additional details are required! 42 www.strongback.us
Test your collaboration capabilities Can your team…  Easily access the “single source of the truth” through linked artifacts?  Quickly grasp the “who, what, when and why” of team activities?  Bring new team members up-to-speed quickly?  Overcome the barriers of multiple time zones when working with outsourced and distributed team members? 43 www.strongback.us
If Measurement is so important, we must be doing it a lot, right? Fortune 500 firms with: Quality measures: 45% Productivity measures 30% Complete measures: 15% Projects with strong versus weak measurement practices Strong Impact Weak of not measuring 44 Source: Capers Jones, Measurement, Metrics and Industry Leadership, 2009 and Software Engineering Best Practices, McGraw Hill, 2010. www.strongback.us
Imperative 4: Development Intelligence Don’t Do Manually collect data by hounding the team for status Use live dashboards that provide transparency of reports. information and dashboard reports based on data coming from the team’s activity. Take a ‘big bang’ approach to instituting measures Identify a weak spot or a current pain point or bottleneck. Don’t expect to get it right the first time. Conduct retrospectives to discover what worked, what didn’t work, and how you can improve. 45 www.strongback.us
From In Process (Team) To Executive Value Appropriate Metrics for Each Management level Dimensions Team Middle Management Development Executive (In Process) (Development Mgmt.) (VP Development) Time-to-Value User Story Points / Use Case Points (Schedule) Iteration Burndown, Blocking Work Item Release Burndown Product Value Iteration Velocity Stakeholder Feedback, # of Enhancement Request, Age of Enhancement Request Tested and Delivered Requirements, Business Value Velocity, Customer Satisfaction Effort (Man-hours) Cost / Unit of work Development / Maintenance Costs Technical Debt (Defect trend, defect density) Test Status, Test Coverage of Requirement, Test Execution Status Quality at Ship User Story Points / Use Case Points Planned/Actual Cost and Velocity Trend Variance. Likelihood of on-time delivery Note: Bold indicates that there is Out-Of-The-Box report supported by Rational tools 46 www.strongback.us
Measuring Time-to-Value (Schedule) Iteration Burndown Showing how much work is left to do in an iteration. It enables the team to adjust scope or resources to finish the iteration successfully. Release Burndown Shows the estimated functionality remaining to complete the current release. 47 www.strongback.us
Measuring Product Value Enhancement Request Trend Shows the trend of enhancement requests received, approved, and closed during the project lifecycle. A high number of enhancement requests can indicate that the system is not functioning as stakeholders expected. Age of Enhancement Requests Tracks the length of time stakeholder enhancement requests remain open. Unaddressed requests can impact the stakeholders' perception of value. 48 www.strongback.us
Measuring Product Cost Cost per unit of work Tracks the cost of delivering a single unit of work (such as a user story point or use case point) across iterations. Monitoring this metric in each iteration helps the team understand if they are burning budget at a sustainable rate. 49 www.strongback.us
Measuring Product Quality Defect Trends Shows defect arrival and closure rates, determines the remaining defect backlog, projects the future defect arrival/close rate up to and post-ship Test Execution Status Monitors test completion and success 50 www.strongback.us
Use dashboards to provide that 1 view of project health 51 www.strongback.us
Test your development intelligence Can your team…  Time-to-Value –Produce the right capabilities according to the committed schedule?  Product Value –Deliver a valuable product?  Product Cost –Measure what we spending to deliver the system?  Product Quality –Build a high quality system?  Predictability –Manage the risk and uncertainty? 52 www.strongback.us
Imperative 5: Continuous process improvement Step 1 Step 2 Adopt Enact Step 4 Step 3 Improve Measure Don’t Do Define a process and place it on a shelf Use a tool that can ‘enact’ your process definition and guide the team toward the desired result. Ignore process altogether or treat it like an Learn from what other teams have done and leverage unnecessary burden. their results across other teams when appropriate Ignore process altogether or treat it like an unnecessary burden. Institute process police Let the tool govern behavior and refine it over time. Add peer reviews to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration. 53 www.strongback.us
Adopt - Process Sharing Leverage the Best practices from Rational and other teams Process Templates on Server: JKE.tools.com:9443/JTS 1 Import/export Templates Scrum Iterative Traditional Provides the ability to leverage best practices from Rational and other teams 2 Servers support multiple templates Web Banking Web Banking Allowing administrators to support Team : Core different processes. Project ::Savings Project Savings Teams improve their process Team : UI independently. Team : Benefits Project ::Retail Project Retail 3 Process updates can be shared Allows teams to control when they want to accept improvements. 54 www.strongback.us
Team Retrospectives help identify areas of improvement  Tracking Retrospectives help team members to collaborate on improvements. –Ranking of process improvements help to focus on where the team feels the biggest pain. –Metrics where available help support process improvements and show results. 55 www.strongback.us
Test your process improvement capabilities Can your team…  Leverage out-of-the-box process templates for traditional and agile workflows?  Change process “on the fly” as part of a continuous feedback loop?  Allow team leads to determine how strict or lax the “rules of the road” should be?  Modify process enforcement over the life of a project, to encourage early-stage experimentation and end-game stability? 56 www.strongback.us

Gartner MarketScope for Application Life Cycle Management IBM Rational earns “Strong Positive” – the highest possible rating IBM earns “Strong Positive”―the highest possible rating Efficient coordination and automation of the delivery process requires new, collaborative approaches to the planning, measurement, execution, control and reporting of activities. These new approaches are what differentiate current application life cycle management (ALM) tools, and what make ALM processes vital to leading-edge development activities. ALM is what enables sustainable agile practices. ALM creates a management framework providing consistent, auditable records of the decisions and activities of agile teams. The MarketScope is copyrighted November 11, 2010 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission. The MarketScope is an evaluation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace, as defined by Gartner. Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product or service depicted in the MarketScope, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest rating. Gartner disclaims all warranties, express or implied, with respect to this research, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The MarketScope graphic was published by Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research note and should be evaluated in the context of the entire report.

What analysts are saying... Liz Barnett, Ez-Insight “With the Jazz project, Rational has developed breakthrough technology and is poised to set the standard for collaborative ALM... Given the current business climate of ‘deliver more with less much sooner,’ organizations have no choice but to rethink the ways that they deliver software solutions. The Jazz project will help teams achieve that goal.” Paul Herzlich, Ovum “IBM has taken the opportunity to exploit the Jazz platform’s power inventively. Its ‘living’ test plan is a masterpiece of applying new technology to a familiar problem… What is being delivered will demonstrate convincingly that IBM is raising the standard for a test management product.” Julie Craig, EMA “Rational’s differentiators are difficult for competitors to equal, and the new Jazz platform foundation may well turn out to be one of the best investments the Rational team has made.” Simon Jacobson, AMR “Frankly I wish folks who sold quality management solutions took this approach. Most of the folks I speak to talk about the lifecycle, but they are selling you a mass transit system, but only really provide the train station.” Dave West, Forrester “What collaborative application lifecycle management is going to provide us with as an industry is the idea that these people have to work together on a platform to support them…I think that’s really exciting.” Bola Rotibi, Creative Intellect Consulting “Jazz’s intuitiveness and simplicity – for configuration, management, and implementation – is allowing IBM Rational to extend beyond its traditional enterprise audience and appeal to smaller and more agile teams and organizations… IBM Rational has embarked on a grand vision for the Jazz platform that is starting to pay off.” 60 www.strongback.us

  • 59. Gartner MarketScope for Application Life Cycle Management IBM Rational earns “Strong Positive” – the highest possible rating IBM earns “Strong Positive”―the highest possible rating Efficient coordination and automation of the delivery process requires new, collaborative approaches to the planning, measurement, execution, control and reporting of activities. These new approaches are what differentiate current application life cycle management (ALM) tools, and what make ALM processes vital to leading-edge development activities. ALM is what enables sustainable agile practices. ALM creates a management framework providing consistent, auditable records of the decisions and activities of agile teams. The MarketScope is copyrighted November 11, 2010 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission. The MarketScope is an evaluation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period.

  • 60. What analysts are saying... Liz Barnett, Ez-Insight “With the Jazz project, Rational has developed breakthrough technology and is poised to set the standard for collaborative ALM... Given the current business climate of ‘deliver more with less much sooner,’ organizations have no choice but to rethink the ways that they deliver software solutions. The Jazz project will help teams achieve that goal.” Paul Herzlich, Ovum “IBM has taken the opportunity to exploit the Jazz platform’s power inventively. Its ‘living’ test plan is a masterpiece of applying new technology to a familiar problem… What is being delivered will demonstrate convincingly that IBM is raising the standard for a test management product.” Julie Craig, EMA “Rational’s differentiators are difficult for competitors to equal, and the new Jazz platform foundation may well turn out to be one of the best investments the Rational team has made.” Simon Jacobson, AMR “Frankly I wish folks who sold quality management solutions took this approach. Most of the folks I speak to talk about the lifecycle, but they are selling you a mass transit system, but only really provide the train station.” Dave West, Forrester “What collaborative application lifecycle management is going to provide us with as an industry is the idea that these people have to work together on a platform to support them…I think that’s really exciting.” Bola Rotibi, Creative Intellect Consulting “Jazz’s intuitiveness and simplicity – for configuration, management, and implementation – is allowing IBM Rational to extend beyond its traditional enterprise audience and appeal to smaller and more agile teams and organizations… IBM Rational has embarked on a grand vision for the Jazz platform that is starting to pay off.” 60 www.strongback.us
