Thomas,
I'd like to learn more about the particular issues you have in mind. Can you point me to specific examples? Like any other bug tracking system Jazz keeps track of the owner of a bug. In addition to that, the Jazz reporting component can store how the work items evolve over time. This information is presented and visualized through reports. I assume this is what you consider sensitive. Jazz provides different control mechanism over these reports: 1) The process associated with a particular project area defines which reports are initially available for a project. 2) Permissions govern who can define new reports or run reports. In addition, the process definitions that come with Jazz do not include any reports on individuals. One reason is the concern you mention above. The other reason is that we have a team first focus in Jazz. In this context this means, that we are more interested in how the team is doing rather than individual developers. --erich |
