Organizational NeedsThe non-complex organization

Needs:• Development tools that work• Enough security to keep the

outside world out

Needs:• Development tools that work• Fine grained security controls• Satisfying regulatory constraints• Reuse / Transparency• Standards• Roll-up metrics across projects• Traceability across the

development environment

The highly complex organization


Open Source Software – Development Tools That Work


What we see today in the highly complex organization

• Geographically distributed teams with both internal and external members• Multiple toolsets (shadow IT)• Many different processes• Disconnect between development and operations


Embrace the Cloud

Consolidate Software Assets– Reduce infrastructure costs– Centrally manage software assets– Secure access to development IP


Manage Git and Subversion with One Enterprise Platform


TeamForge Overview


Manage Git and Subversion with One Enterprise Platform


CollabNet TeamForge Capabilities

• Industry Leading Agile ALM Platform ideal for distributed teams• First solution to combine Collaboration and ALM in one platform• Built around a unique and powerful Community Architecture


Why Community Architecture?

Centralization results in a whole new world:– New Challenges

• Navigation• Security

– New Opportunities• Governance• Reuse• Metrics• Consistency• Staff Mobility

A solid community architecture will help overcome the new challenges and help to capitalize on the new opportunities.


Key Elements of Good Community Architecture

1. Site Organization– Map development activities into logical groupings


Site Organization Example

Hierarchical Categories• Map to Business

Structures

CollabNet TeamForge provides the platform for securely creating categories and projects, assigning roles and permissions across a group of projects, and adding project members.

Projects• Projects can be combined to form

project groups• Projects can belong to none, one,

or many categories or parent projects

• Subprojects can inherit roles from a parent project

2. Access Controls– Centralized doesn’t mean mayhem


Access Controls Example

Open Projects

All Site

Users

State Projects

All State Users

Federal Projects

Project Visibility / Participation

Open Communities: Open to all users of the siteState Communities: Federal and State usersFederal Communities: Federal users only

Project types with access controls enable governed stakeholder participation and visibility





3. Self-service– Make it easy for newbies to use the site


Self-service Example

Notes:– Conspicuously positioned– Variety of information– Empty chair


Self-service Example






4. Templates– Use project templates to fast track new project start-ups


Templates Example

Codify common project elements into reusable templates for consistency and quick project start-up:

– Workflows– Roles– Wikis– Discussion Forums– Work Tracking Layouts– Document Sharing Structures– Release Planning Constructs– Documentation Layouts
