Driving Business Differentiation


Given the rise of distributed teams and the pace of technology change, governing software development cycles has never been more difficult

What we’re seeing…

“2/3 of our projects span multiple business units”

“Our architecture needs to be significantly more scalable and flexible”

What we’re hearing…

� Increasingly diverse and cross organizational project teams with multiple product architectures

� Interest in managing software as

more scalable and flexible”

“We’ have a process but our tools don’t enforce it. It’s not serving it’s purpose.”

“On time delivery of software is paramount as it is a risk to our business profitability.?”

“We have to go where the best talent is, but we have IP and compliance realities”

� Interest in managing software as an asset using flexible, governed software delivery models

� Software becoming more critical to the operation and on-time delivery of new products

� Open, customizable, framework enabling new business models


� Agile: An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach performed in a highly collaborative manner with just the right amount of ceremonyto produce high quality software in a cost effective and timely manner which meets thechanging needs of its stakeholders.

Silos of people,process, and projects

Only 37% of stakeholders are satisfied with the speed of internal application development...

Only 42% are satisfied with the quality.

50% of outsourced projects are expected to underperform.

While distributed teams were designed to enhance “business agility”, organizational, geographical, and technical silos can make things worse

Organizational BarriersGeographic Barriers

� Poor communication

� Language, culture and time differences

� Process gaps resulting in errors and rework

� High degree of friction across teams

Infrastructure Barriers

� Lack of meaningful stakeholder input

� Poor LOB oversight

� Weak project governance

� Missed opportunities to leverage domain expertise

� Incompatible tools and repositories

� Unreliable access to common artifacts

� Lengthy project and team member on-boarding

� Brittle and inflexible tooling integrations

Agenda



� Planning & Task Tracking

� “Planning is everything. Plans are nothing.”*

SDP19 19







Example: Rational Team Concert and SCRUM process

Product Backlog Plan

Taskboards show task progress

Progress rolls up into plans

(sprint, product backlog)

SDP19 20

“Sprint plan” or Iteration Plan also

shows backlog priority


� Ideal for managing SCRUM backlog

� Support coarse & fine grained prioritization

� Ranking is reflected in all planning views, e.g. iteration plans and release

plans

Backlog Plan ModeEasily rank work items to define priority

SDP19 21

Drag and drop work items to rank them relative to others.


Iteration “Sprint” Planning Understand how well you are progressing against your targets

in real-time

SDP19 22

Plan and execute on iterations while

managing load

Drag-and-drop work items to change

owners/create child parent relationships


Taskboards track Work in ProgressAccelerate stand-up meetings, increased transparency

See the work in progress or

completed

SDP19 23

Drag and drop work items to change their

state.

“....we currently use a mix of Subversion, Atlassian JIRA and the Hudson continuous build tool,

and various extensions that provide some integration between these products. As you might imagine, this causes problems as these tools are not as sophisticated as RTC, and require a careful migration strategy to keep the (limited) integrations working over time.”
