Queries

At the center of information discovery for me in Jazz are work item queries. They are the bread and butter of how I determine what is going on in the world around me and I consume them in a variety of different ways.

Originally I used queries exactly as they were. I created a variety of them, and to view them I would use the Work Items view. While this works great for those quick “one off” searches, I found this wasn’t a flexible way for me to see a large amount of data all at once. I can only run one query at a time!

Then, I was fortunate to have someone point out Feeds to me. Feeds take a query and turn it into a constantly updated Atom feed that you can then consume with your favorite reader. To do this, all you have to do is right-click on a query in the rich client and select Subscribe to Query Feed. To use  an external reader, right click on the newly added feed under the Feeds section and select Copy Feed URL and paste it into your reader of choice. This was a great improvement as I was now seeing multiple streams of targeted information, simultaneously. However, I quickly found out that these feeds require authentication, which isn’t supported by my reader of choice, Google Reader™ feed reader. After a brief and failed experiment with Yahoo Pipes, I was off in search of a reader that worked for me.

After trying out several Windows-based readers that could do authentication, I pleasantly came across Team Central, built right into Rational Team Concert. Team Central gave me a central (pun intended) place to aggregate all of my feeds and queries where I was sure to be all the time: my development environment! Coupled with Eclipse’s ability to let me detach views so even while I was coding I could have it open on a separate monitor, I had a great way to keep track of all the information that was flowing around me.  I was able to aggregate groups of related queries (including ones from different repositories) into bar charts for a quick visual queue that I could hover over for more information. It also had an event log for the queries I’d turned into feeds so I can see at a glance what was going on with things that matter to me. Finally as an added convenience I can see the latest build health of the builds I deal with.

My Team Central view on the left and my user Feed on the right

Get creative in your query writing, too! I don’t just write work item queries for myself but I also have queries around what my team does so I can see what they’re up to, and even queries on certain words like “must have” or “critical”.

There’s also a great article in the library on this topic: Best practices for using news feeds to track events in Rational Team Concert.

Feed Pages

In the above image, the feed page for my user ID  is also shown on the right. This page gives a nice time specific summary of what I’ve been up too lately. It is highly customizable and shows everything including modifications, comments to work items, and check-ins. This is an excellent way to follow how someone is working on a day to day basis. For new developers like myself, it was invaluable in finding common team practices and discovering how teammates worked and allocated their time which helped me develop good habits of my own.

Subscribing & Email

A nice alternative to Feeds is to subscribe to changes to work items and have them sent to your email. This can be done from both the Web interface and rich client by going to the links tab on any work item and adding yourself (or anyone who you think might or should care) as a subscriber. This will then generate an email any time there is an event on that work item such as an attribute change, comment, or a check-in. I have my email client open on my second screen all day, so for me it works really well with a couple of inbox rules to keep my mail organized. I am able to easily keep tabs on updates to work items even when my Eclipse is closed (which of course is never, but ya never know).

Mailing Lists

Another great source of some higher level information are the jazz.net mailing lists. They provide great insight into what the Jazz development teams are up to and critical information such as jazz.net server maintenance, so you’re never left in the dark.

Thanks & Further Reading

I would love to say that I discovered all of these great features myself but in reality I was given a lot of helpful advice. In no particular order I want to thank James Moody, Rafik Jaouani, Jean-Michel Lemieux, and Andrew Hoo.

Some more good tips on using plans and tracking can be found in Jean-Michel’s post.

How do I download the workbench?

Because the workbench products (Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational DOORS Requirements Professional) are built on a common set of services, when you download one of them, you get the capabilities of all three. On the jazz.net downloads page, follow one of the links to download 3.0 M7a (Beta 1):

• Rational Team Concert 3.0 M7a (Beta 1)
• Rational Quality Manager 3.0 M7a (Beta 1)
• Rational DOORS Requirements Professional 3.0 M7a (Beta 1)

Installing the server for any of those trials will allow you to install the capabilities for all three products.

What is the Workbench for?

The Workbench is designed to:

• Support the needs of skilled practitioners while coordinating overall team process and workflow
• Reduce project risk by providing end-to-end traceability of ALM artifacts
• Work the way you want with infinitely extensible dashboards that summarize project status at the right level of detail
• Speed deployment and reduce administration costs through flexible deployment options, simplified licensing and enhanced security.

Why is this important?

The activities involving requirements, development, build and test are not process silos. Integrating these disciplines through process automation, links between artifacts, and reporting across these links improves the productivity of teams while also increasing the quality of their deliverables.

We encourage you to try one, two, or all three products, kick the tires, and let us know what works and how we can do better.

Adrian Cho
Development Manager, Rational Workbench for Collaborative Lifecycle Management and Rational Team Concert

For teams to successfully implement and deliver software, their plans must align, with all members sharing the same vision of the requirements, the development iterations, and the test plans. One of my favorite movie scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl can help illustrate this principle:

When Will and Elizabeth are held captive by the evil ghost-pirate Barbossa aboard the Black Pearl, Will Turner reveals that his blood is the key to freeing Barbossa from his curse. Will demands that Elizabeth be freed or he will shoot himself and fall off the boat, thereby damning Barbossa to live under his curse forever. Barbossa agrees to set Elizabeth free … but by walking her off the plank at gun point.

Will contests Barbossa’s implementation of his requirement (walking Elizabeth off the plank). Will’s requirement was for Barbossa to set Elizabeth free, but Barbossa argues that Will did not specify the details of how she would leave the boat. In Barbossa’s opinion, he is acting on Will’s wish and setting her free from the boat. The tension exists because neither Will nor Barbossa had full transparency into the other’s plan.

I realize that I’ve taken a literary leap with my example, but hopefully it makes the point and was entertaining. For teams to successfully implement and deliver software, their plans must align with all members sharing the same vision of the requirements, the development iterations, and the test plans. Having the ability to leverage and link to each others work enables team members to gain transparency into each others expectations, thus facilitating further conversation and collaboration on the details of the work.

Please, save your teammates from having to walk the plank. What looks like fun in the movies isn’t always fun in real life!  Use the IBM Rational Workbench for Collaborative Lifecycle Management to enable full team transparency with the ability for all team members to ‘specify’ what is needed to successfully deliver your software.

Here’s a playlist of the videos:

In addition to filming interviews, I also presented a session that was a guided tour of jazz.net and also covered the value and purposes of jazz.net (and how to get the most out of it). We did a similar session last year, but this year almost everyone in the room was already on jazz.net and already participating in some way! This evidence of growth just seemed to carry through everything all week, making the vibe in the air noticeably different from previous years. Whereas last year people were asking me, “What is Rational Team Concert?”, this year people asked me questions like, “How do I get more out of Rational Team Concert for capacity planning?” or “How can I generate a report that shows effort required per story point?”

So, it was really exciting to see and feel the growth and increased excitement from year to year! If you didn’t make it to Innovate this year, hopefully we can see you at Innovate 2011 — same time of year, same fun hotel in Disney World!

If you were at Innovate 2010, what were your favorite highlights?

And if you missed the action, here are some photos from the event:

Why is this important? The activities involving requirements, development, build and test are not process silos. Integrating these disciplines through process automation, links between artifacts, and reporting across these links improves the productivity of teams while also improving the quality of the deliverables from those teams.

To focus this effort, we are bringing Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and a new requirements management product tentatively named “Rational DOORS Requirements Professional” more closely together and calling this set of products the Rational Workbench for Collaborative Lifecycle Management.

What’s a “workbench”? A Workbench is a term we use to describe a combination of products, services, and best practices that are designed to work well together to solve a particular problem.

But there is a lot more to this than just a name! It reflects significant work done by the teams to address feedback we’ve received from our customers and community on their experience using our 2.0 version products together. In addition to making these products easier to license, install, deploy, and administer together, we’re also making them work together more seamlessly. In the rest of the blog I’ll explain some of the key improvements in more detail.*

Improvements to licensing, installation, deployment, and administration

Simplify the packaging and licensing – We are looking at moving towards a more fully role-based licensing scheme.

The idea is that a primary license for any of the three Workbench for CLM products would give you “read” and comment access to the other Workbench for CLM products in order to collaborate with the other roles on the team.

This would, for example, eliminate the need to buy additional “Viewer” or “Reviewer” licenses just for Developers to access quality plans, or for Quality Professionals to view requirements, as is currently the case in the 2.0 products. For teams that have people who need occasional access to more than one product, floating licenses can provide flexibility. We’re also thinking about whether it might make sense to offer a single “all in one” license that enables full access to all three products.

Proposed future RQM, RTC, DOORS RP Multi-product licensing

We’re also looking at normalizing the “Contributor” license across these products so it has the same name and capabilities across the three products, to replace the former Viewer and Reviewer licenses in RQM and RRC. Contributor is intended for team members that need to read and write Work Items, and in general need read and comment capabilities across the Workbench for CLM products to collaborate with the other roles on the team. The Stakeholder license is intended to provide a more limited, lower cost license for the team’s “customers” or “constituents” who only need to be able to enter and view Work Items or view project plans.

Finally, we are looking at whether we could make the server editions structure less complex. There is more work to be done here, but one idea is to have only a single server edition with no predefined limits, with entry pricing for small teams, and the ability to set up as many or as few servers as desired as long as the client access license (CAL) limits are properly tracked (which is pretty straightforward with our floating licenses).

Simplify installation of multiple products – The Rational Workbench for CLM products will have a common server install. Unlike in the 2.0 versions, you’ll be able to deploy these three products into a single Jazz Team Server and have them share the same common services such as WorkItems, Planning, Requirements, etc. This means the WorkItems capability in RQM and DOORS RP will be the same as the WorkItems capabilty in RTC, and all three products can access and share each other’s work items. The default – or simplest install – will be to install all the services into a single physical server. Then all you need to do is upload the product keys for what you’ve purchased, and voila! You’re in business. In addition, once you’ve installed the common server our intent is that you can try out any of the roles from the three Workbench for CLM products just by activating trial keys … because of the shared services, you don’t need to install anything else to do this!

Provide flexible deployment options – In addition to the default single-server install, there will also be an advanced install that allows you to install the Jazz Team Server (JTS) and Workbench for CLM product services on different app servers/physical servers to create a distributed installation for increased scalability, as shown in the diagrams below.

Harmonize platform and language support – In the past, there were some platform and language support differences that occasionally caused issues when setting up an environment to use these products together. Our plan is that the Workbench for CLM products will support the same server operating systems, application servers, databases, client operating systems, Eclipse versions, web browsers, and international languages and locales.

Provide unified administration across the products – In the 2.0 version products, each product installed its own Jazz Team Server, so users and projects had to be administered separately for each product. In the future, when the Workbench for CLM products are deployed on the same Jazz Team Server (the typical configuration), users, projects, and license management are all administered in one place.

Improvements that strengthen cross-product integrations

To strengthen the cross-product integrations we created several themes to deepen and open the integrations. These themes manifest across the roles, primarily through additional link types for cross-discipline artifact linking and open dashboards.

Collaborate on plans - Lifecycle collaboration starts with the team’s plans. Having all team members understand the requirements, development, and test plans ensures the team moves together in a more cohesive way. In the 2.0 products you could link a requirements collection with a test plan giving testers and analysts visibility for validating that the software meets the business needs. You could also link related development plans to give development teams insight into each other’s work. In the future you’ll also be able to link development plans to requirement collections and to test plans, giving all team members visibility into each others plans with the ability to navigate across them for more effective collaboration.

Collaborate on artifacts – Once plans are linked the next step is to link related work items. For example a single requirement may link to one or more development work items and one or more test cases. While this was the heart of the integration story in the version 2.0 products, we continue to deepen the use cases for which artifacts can be linked, and we have added more rich hovers and improved the available filter queries to help you determine which artifacts are linked and which are not. For example some artifacts track the status of another, such as tracking the status of an issue that has been logged against a requirement. For a complete list of link types, see the Jazz wiki ( https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CALM2010LinkTypes ) In addition, as result of shared services, all tasks can now be managed by the same work-item management system. This lets you assign and manage defects, development tasks, and quality tasks for developers and testers all in one system.

Knowing when you are done with improved traceability - Having linked artifacts helps you understand when all of the work is done. With the new link types you’ll have even more power at your fingertips for tracking the status of the team’s work. For example creating queries and viewlets to see which requirements have open defects (meaning the implementation requires more work) or which requirements have open issues (meaning the requirement requires more work). We’ve also added to the out-of-ths-box traceability queries and we’re looking at providing rich hovers wherever possible. In addition, you’ll have the ability to produce traceability reports across the Workbench for CLM products.

Open collaboration – We continue to build on the mash-up dashboards that combine information from the different products to allow teams to track status and collaborate on a daily basis. In the future we’ll support incorporating OpenSocial and IBM iWidgets into your dashboards. In addition you can integrate our own dashboard gadgets, such as “my assigned work-items” into Open Social containers such as iGoogle or gmail.

You can see some of these improvements coming together in our M6 Milestone, and you’ll see things really take shape over the summer. We intend to start rolling this work into product releases starting in the fall of 2010.

I encourage you to follow along and give us your feedback. We’ve created a forum post to use for discussion around this topic. You can also take a look at our plans, download our milestones and Betas and give us feedback through the forums and through bug reports and enhancement requests. We want to hear from you!

*Our lawyers would like me to remind you that these are not finalized plans or commitments … just work-in-progress, and plans are subject to change without notice. See the Terms of Use.

I am thrilled to announce the community preview of Social Connector for Rational Team Concert. Developed by Mainsoft in collaboration with IBM Rational, the Social Connector brings enterprise social networks to your projects. Rational Team Concert developers get direct access to Lotus Connections blogs, wikis, communities, activities, profiles, and more from within the development environment. This Social Connector is also being tested with other Jazz-based products so you can leverage your social network while staying in your primary work environment.

To show you what you can do with the community preview of the Social Connector, we recorded a video that explains the integration areas.

Build a Community around Your Project

Growing a social network around a software project brings developers up to speed faster. New hires and teams that are added to a core team will find all the information they need in a central Lotus Connections community, including blogs, forums, wikis, file repositories, and bookmarks. These collaboration systems offer a broad teamwork base for any software project. For example, wikis can hold product specifications, blogs can be used to publish roadmaps to a wider audience, forums can be used to gather feedback from beta testers, and a file repository hosts nightly builds with download statistics and commentary features.

Creating a new Lotus Connections community, or linking to an existing one, only takes a couple of clicks.  The administrator sets the Lotus Connections community in the Social Network tab under project management.

Once the project community is created, all project members are added to it and as new developers join the project, they automatically become members of the project community.

Search for People & Knowledge in Your Organization

Find people across the enterprise based on experience, skills, or keywords.

Find people by expertise.

Hovering a user in the Rational Team Concert web interface shows a rich tooltip with the user’s business card, including profile information from both Rational Team Concert and social networks.

The business card shows photo, contact details, time zone, background, and more.  You can directly invite people to grow your network.

View recent updates and activities from both Rational Team Concert and the social server.

In addition to the standard information, the administrator has the option to add custom tabs to the business card to connect with other social networks using HTML and JavaScript.

Tabs can be customized to connect to other networks. This example shows you Skype presence awareness with links to the user’s LinkedIn and Twitter profiles.

The knowledge shared in the community and elsewhere in the enterprise social network is searchable directly from a viewlet on the project Dashboard. Search results can be filtered using options to search the entire network, the project community, or a specific section (profile, communities, blogs, activities, bookmarks, files, and wikis). A tag cloud lets you further drill down in a large number of search results.

The viewlet lets you find what you are looking for fast. You can filter search results using search scopes and the tag cloud.

The viewlet displays items of many different types, using a rich web interface. This helps your team stay focused on the task at hand, since they don’t need to switch interfaces. For example, blog posts and wiki pages pop up when you hover a post in the search results; activities can be opened inside the viewlet and activity entries can be marked as completed without leaving Rational Team Concert.

Blog posts and wiki pages can be read from a balloon tip in the Rational Team Concert web interface.

Share Ideas from a Dashboard or Work Item

While working on a task or reviewing your project statistics on the Dashboard, you can directly update your status message (micro-blog), post a new entry on a blog, or submit a new forum topic. Quick links to the current Work Item make it easy to refer back to Rational Team Concert.

Share ideas using status updates, blogs, and discussions forums from within Rational Team Concert.

From the context of a Work Item you can create a new activity entry to collaborate on shared goals across your organization. For example, preparing for a conference may involve many different roles such as development to get a build ready, marketing to prepare a slide deck, and assistants who are making flight and hotel reservations. Creating a new activity entry adds one link from the Work Item to the activity and another from the activity entry back to the Work Item.

Linking a Work Item to an Activity lets technical users collaborate with non-technical users on shared goals.

Stay Up-to-Date

Having the social viewlet on your project Dashboard is the ideal way of staying up-to-date with what is going on in and around your project, without having to switch between multiple interfaces. The viewlet shows you the latest updates and activities for the people in your network. It also gives you easy access to the project community feed, so that you can subscribe to community updates to display them side-by-side with the social viewlet on the Dashboard.

Stay up-to-date with activities in your network.

Connect your Enterprise

The Social Viewlet can also be used from other products built on Jazz technology, such as Rational Quality Manager, using the remote viewlet feature.

Together with Mainsoft’s existing Document Collaboration product, which integrates Rational Team Concert with Lotus Quickr and Microsoft SharePoint, business teams and stakeholders can now stay in the loop and get visibility into software deliveries without extra effort.

Both Social Connector and Document Collaboration are built with simplicity in mind and provide a responsive and intuitive user experience.

Try It

If you want to make Rational Team Concert more social, download the community preview now and try it yourself! It takes less than 15 minutes to set up, and you can use My developerWorks if you don’t have a Lotus Connections server.

And for those of you in the twittersphere, follow @ibminnovate and @JazzDotNet and watch the #ibminnovate hash tag.

Like in previous years, we have a good number of Jazz developers, product managers, and other team members here to present keynotes, sessions, and workshops, to demo on the exhibit floor, and to help people get up to speed in the Jazz Cafe (Mon-Wed, 9:45-11:00 and 2:00-4:00pm, Europe 2). If you’re lucky enough to be here with us, we’d love to meet you and get your feedback!

But unlike a few years ago when Jazz was first introduced, Jazz-related sessions are now spanning the entire agenda, across several technical tracks, particularly the following tracks:

• Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management
• Change and Configuration Management
• IBM Systems and Software Delivery Platform

Or, you can also customize your attendance by following a virtual solution track, like the Agile or IBM Jazz solution tracks. And don’t be surprised to find sessions related to products on jazz.net in any of the other technical tracks.

Be sure to ask plenty of questions and tell us what you think.

And one more thing … I’m roaming around the conference with my Flip camcorder looking to film some quick interviews with customers, partners, and other users and developers. If you’d love to be semi-famous and get your face on jazz.net, just track me down and we’ll record a few quick takes. And if you’d love to share your story or feedback in a more professional video shoot, we’re doing some of that on Tuesday in Oceanic 4, or you can contact me.

We love to hear about all the cool things you’re doing. And if you don’t want your face on jazz.net (why not?), you can share your written testimonial with us. Feel free to leave it as a comment here and maybe we’ll feature it on our testimonials page.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out jazz.net and register there. We’ve done some cool new stuff on the home page, and we added a new roles page, a new testimonials page, and a new development portal for easily submitting bugs. We hope you like it!

Team Concert with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

We’ve received many requests from Team Concert users wanting to try out our support for Visual Studio 2010. Thanks for all your interest and support – and here’s your chance! Download Rational Team Concert 2.0.0.2 iFix 3 M1 and feel free to post questions and comments in the Using Team Concert forum and submit work items for any defects you find. We are dedicated to supporting Visual Studio 2010 and your feedback can help us provide a great offering.  Note that we continue to support Visual Studio 2005 and 2008.

1. Made all editions start with a total of 10 Developers (three included + seven free)
2. Dropped the server prices (by approximately half) for a limited time

We heard feedback that users wanted a simpler transition from Rational Team Concert Express-C to other Rational Team Concert Editions as they grew beyond ten developers. To make this easier, we are making available seven free Developer licenses to Rational Team Concert Express, Standard, and Enterprise Server Editions. These additional free Developer licenses are available for download only on Jazz.net. Since each purchased Rational Team Concert server edition already includes three “authorized user” licenses, these seven free authorized user licenses gives you a total of 10 to start with on all Rational Team Concert server editions.

In most countries, we are also running a limited-time promotion for all three Rational Team Concert Server Editions that makes it truly affordable to get started. See the IBM public announcement link for your region North America ; Europe-Middle-East-Africa ; Latin America ; Asia Pacific. And remember, Rational Team Concert Express-C is still completely free for 10 developers.

Rational Team Concert Express Edition: (License + 1st year maintenance included)

For 10 developers ~$325/seat* (limited time promotion)

For 20 developers ~$812/seat* (limited time promotion)

For 30 developers ~$975/seat* (limited time promotion)

Additionally, small teams now have more affordable access to the Rational Team Concert Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, which both include these additional capabilities:

• Fully customizable work item workflows
• Automated LDAP synchronization with an external registry
• Plan risk assessment:  Will this feature fit into a given iteration?
• ClearCase and ClearQuest synchronization and bridges
• Fully customizable report templates

If your development team is still using poorly integrated agile planning, version control, defect tracking or build tools, now you have no excuse not to try Rational Team Concert… but we should warn you, that our experience with other Rational Team Concert customers is once developers try it they don’t want to use anything else!

If you are already a Rational Team Concert user, now you can expand your use to more team members.  If you would like to share with others how Rational Team Concert has made your team more productive, feel free to write a review.

You can listen to a podcast summarizing this offer here.

How do I get my seven free additional licenses?

Download your seven free developer licenses from jazz.net. Choose the appropriate activation key for your server edition.

Can I get the seven free if I’m an existing Rational Team Concert customer?

Yes, the seven free will work with Rational Team Concert 2.x. You can download the seven free Developer Licenses now.

Is there IBM support for these extra 7 free licenses?

Yes, just like the three Developer licenses included with your purchased Rational Team Concert server edition, these extra seven area also supported with your existing support contract. Rational Team Concert Express-C with 10 free Developer licenses continues to be community supported.

Do I pay maintenance on the 7 free licenses?

The maintenance fee for these 7 licenses is already included with your annual maintenance for your purchased RTC server Edition.

How do I get started if I’m new to Rational Team Concert and need more than 10 developer licenses?

You simply purchase a Rational Team Concert server here (Express, Standard or Enterprise) with three Developer licenses included, and then buy the number of Developer licenses you need above ten.  Note that you can only have one “seven free” license pack installed per purchased Rational Team Concert server.

Can I buy Rational Team Concert on-line?

Yes. For example, you can buy Rational Team Concert Express on-line here.

What if I have more than one Rational Team Concert server in my company?

Each server can have their own “seven free” Developer licenses installed as long as they are not using a shared license server.  If you manage them with a shared license server, then you are only permitted to have a total of seven free Developer licenses installed across the set of servers using the same shared license server.

If I’m already using Rational Team Concert Express-C today and I need more than 10 developers how can I take advantage of  the 7 free?

You can simply buy a Rational Team Concert Express server (or Standard or Enterprise) and download the seven free Developer licenses from jazz.net.  Then you just buy the additional Developer licenses you need as your team grows beyond 10 developers

What if I’m using a Rational Team Concert trial version? Do the seven free Developer licenses unlock my trial?

No, the seven free Developer licenses will not change the nature of your trial version of Rational Team Concert. It will still be a trial period, so you would only benefit from adding the seven free if you have a licensed server. You change a trial to a licensed server when you buy an RTC server.

What if I’m using Rational Team Concert for System z or Rational Team Concert for Power Systems?

The seven free Developer licenses do not apply to Rational Team Concert for System z or Rational Team Concert for Power Systems. These editions continue to include three Developer licenses with their Rational Team Concert servers and have no free “community edition”.

*Official prices are published here.  This is an example only and not the official IBM price, which is subject to change.  The Rational Team Concert Express example for 20 developers assumes the purchase of one Rational Team Concert Express Server using promotional pricing and 10 additional authorized user licenses.  The total cost is then divided by 20 developer seats to arrive at an approximate cost per seat in US $ currency.  Uplifts or other local currency fluctuations may affect your price per seat. This is an approximation only and not an official  price quote.
