Background

• Distributed team• Information in e-mails and

documents• Poor traceability• Lack of transparency• Coordination overhead

Challenges

• Customer expecting fast and correct deliverables

• Need of early warning on the development status

• Very high quality expectation• Limited resources could be

dedicated to this

What we needed

• Process support - “our way”• Planning and change support• Seamless and transparent

communication• Happy developers• Low overhead• Cost efficient

How we solved it

• IBM Rational Team Concert– Web based tool– Adapted Scrum process template– Role based process (PM, Scrum

master, Developer and Admin)– Iteration planning– Integrated stories, code changes– Information sharing through live

dashboard– Integrated with development

environment (Eclipse)

Our way of working1. Ideas (Whiteboard)2. Initial architecture (RSA)

3. Create project4. PM creates timeline with iterations5. PM creates product backlog6. Associate stories with iterations

7. Developers work on stories from iterations8. Developers update a story by setting status and

associating changed code9. A developer assigns an implemented story to tester10. Tester checks that story works11. Repeat for all stories in iteration

12. All persons involved monitor Dashboard with real-time progress and changes – transparency / openness

13. Perform re-planning and change management14. Repeat for all iterations

15. Release involves additional testing and documentation. RTC guides to changes since the previous release.
