Notice: The webcast mentioned in this blog is no longer available. We are looking into recovering the webcast.
Rational Team Concert is being developed by a globally distributed team. Since we strongly believe in consuming our own output/dogfood it should be no surprise that we are use using Team Concert intensively for our own development (see also selfhosting by the numbers). This is a topic I enjoy talking about and there is a lot to tell. So to get started telling this story I’ve recorded a webcast that illustrates how we use Team Concert ourselves throughout a full release cycle.
In the webcast I’m using a mix of slides and demos with live data from our real development server. However, there is still a lot more to say on this topic. The webcast runs for about 60 minutes and here is the outline:
Our Setup
- Agile Practices
- Server Setup
- Rhythm
- Demo: Project Setup
- Demo: Setup for a Team
- Process: Work Item Types, Roles, and Team Structure
- Demo: Process Setup
Planning a Release
- Release and Iteration Planning
- Demo: Release Plan
Iterating
- Iteration Planning
- Demo: Iteration Plan of a Component Team
- Delivering changes
- Demo: Stream Flows
- Tracking Iteration Progress
- Demo: Dashboards
- Building: Stabilizing an Integration Build (see blog entry on this topic), Build Promotion
- Demo: Weekly Integration Build, Build Tracking
- Retrospective
Finishing a release – the end game
- Endgame Process Rules, Reviews, and Approvals (see blog entry on the 1.0 end game)
- Demo: Endgame Rules, Approvals
- Quality Tracking using Dashboards
The webcast assumes you are familiar with Team Concert.
