JAZZ CLM staffing
Has anyone done an assessment of staffing needs in order to support JAZZ at a department/enterprise level?
I'd be interested to find out the finding of what your assessment revealed/recommended. |

This depends largely on the size of the organization, and number of users of the Jazz tools. There are primarily two major roles in management of such a system.
For a small organization, both roles can be outsourced to a reputable DevOps vendor for likely what would be less than the price of a full time equivalent. For a department or enterprise level organization, the key staffing need is the second one listed. You would likely need a Jazz Admin for every department, or at least every active department that would be working with the system. Certainly a skilled project/jazz admin could assist and manage multiple departments if they were small to medium sized. I would prefer to have someone come in to jump start this, educate the project/jazz admins, as well as any team leads and architects so as to distribute this across multiple people, and to ensure successful long term adoption.
I'd recommend this presentation to understand how best to adopt the platform:

For using any software or hardware application, you need atleast one application administrator. If you need global coverage with 24x7 support, then you need 3-4 administrators.
Same for CLM tools also. It is nothing special, provided your application administrator knows about the infrastructure requirements of the tools & functional features of these tools.
If your organization is new to these tools, you need one expert to create the usage model, which might be a departmental task. For small organizations less than 200 users, administrator can also play this role also.
There are lots of ibm partners with expert level knowledge in these tools.
Based on your usage pattern, to circumvent this matter, you can also try CLM on Cloud, as managed services.
