IBM Systems and Software Symposium – February 2013

Agenda

Quick overview of Rational Team Concert

Strategic direction with regard to Systems development

Highlights from recent releases, focus on Systems

Enhancing your current CCM environment with Team Concert

2013 priorities



Be lean at scale. Work together. Deliver quality results.

Process your way – Scrum, waterfall or hybrid; adapt planning to meet your team needs and rhythm.

Friction free communication by smart linking of tasks, code changes, builds and releases as you work

Transparency through live dashboards - write code not status reports – live web based dashboards tell everyone the story

Empower developers - Juggle tasks, patch in seconds, easily add or remove features as required to meet business needs

Runs anywhere – open platform Works with your existing tools and data for incremental adoption

Agile Formal



Team advisor for defining / refining “rules” and enabling continuous improvement

Process enactment and enforcement In-context collaboration enables team members

to communicate in context of their work

Single structure for project related artifacts World-class team on-boarding / offboarding

including team membership, sub-teams and project inheritance

Role-based operational control for flexible definition of process and capabilities

Jazz Team Server

Component based SCM enables reuse across projects

Change set based for easy addition or removal of features

Server-based sandboxes

SCM Work Items

Defects, enhancements and conversations

View and share query results Support for approvals and

discussions Query editor interface

Automated Work item and change set traceability

Build definitions for team and personal builds

Local or remote build servers Multi-level continuous

integration

Build

PlanningIntegrated release/iteration planningEffort estimation & progress tracking taskboards Out of the box process templates: formal or agile

Project Transparency Customizable web based dashboards Real time metrics and reports Project milestone tracking and status

Rational Team Concert functionality



Dynamic planning with multiple views

Provide transparency and automated status for everyoneEvery stakeholder knows project status without having to ask



Improve team collaboration across silos

8

• Silo’d teams; disconnected data

• Important discussions are lost to email -project records are missing the “real reason” for decisions

• Unified team shares linked data

• ALM environment tracks what is important for delivering

• “Am I blocking others”

• “Are others waiting for my approval”

Every artifact is a web link. Traceability is automated as you perform work. Empower teams and provide flexibility to utilize resources from anywhere.

Process Sharing and Customization Allows project areas to extend a shared process

without cutting off inheritance from the parent.

Project areas can now define configuration deltas to a shared work item configuration.

Initial customizations supported

Adding a new attribute to a work item type and adding that attribute to the work item editor for that type

Adding a new literal to an existing enumeration

Rational Team Concert 4.0.3 Performance

Performance: User Productivity

SCM command line:

10% boost in CLI execution

Plan loading performance: Phase II

In RTC 4.0.1 we improved performance by 25%

In RTC 4.0.3 plan loading uses a new “pay as you go” model and other optimizations that improve performance by up to 40 to 50 percent. For example, the Rational Team Concert product backlog now loads in 10 seconds, compared to 20 seconds in 4.0.3 M3, over a network latency shown in the image above using browser Mozilla Firefox 17.0.5.

Pay as you go: When we load a plan, not all plan view data is loaded until you ask for it.

Parallelize requests: Parallel requests when loading data rather than sequential requests

201320122011



Rational Team Concert 4.0.3: Usability

Usability: Simple and fast agile ranking

Simplify ranking (218174)

Today:

We support automated stack based ranking in backlogs, which can sometimes lead to ranking gaps during drag operations.

Now we allow more explicit control over ranking.

New explicit actions to assign row numbers as rank numbers

Make the rank number manually editable

Improve drag and drop behavior

Make it much faster to rank order a large backlog and maintain consecutive rank when using drag and drop.

RTC 4.0.3 : Apply Rank Action Examples

“I’ve got the plan ordered the way I want. One click to apply rank across the plan”

“I’ve moved a group of lower priority tasks

to the bottom of the backlog, apply an ordered

rank below, from my current selected task”

Rational Team Concert 4.0.3 : Usability

Usability: Visual Studio Developers see all their work

organized in one place

[CCM] As a user make it easy for me to see what I'm working on, in the VS Client (227379)

We improved the current “My Dashboard” UI to make it very easy for a developer to see:

Current Work - my to do list of work items in the current iteration

Future Work - my to do list of work items grouped by future iterations

Pending Approvals – my work items owned by me in “pending” approval state

Pending Requests - All work items that require my approval

User customization of these views (sort order, bar charts, rich hovers)

See work across multiple Visual Studio projects.

RTC 4.0.3 Plans – Complex Cross Project Plans

Increased hierarchy levels for drill down

– Previously cross-project plans displayed a single hierarchy level. Now, they support multiple hierarchy levels for items that are tracked in the plan. The level is configurable.

201320122011



RTC 4.0.3 Plans – Complex Cross Project Plans

Cross-project plans support three new plan checks for items that are tracked in a plan.

– Visual warnings are displayed when the following situations occur:

• The rolled-up schedule for an item in the plan exceeds the end date of the iteration that the plan is associated with.

• The "planned for" date of a plan item exceeds the plan's iteration end date.

• The rolled-up schedule for an item in the plan exceeds the due date that is specified for the item.

Colorizers and filters now support date expressions

– To highlight or hide items in the plan by date
