1122  Effectively Managing Agile Projects using StarTeam
Don Kranz — PROCESS-exchange, Inc.

Type: Regular Session. Level: All.
StarTeam is much more than just a file management system. In this session, we see how StarTeam is an enabler for successful agile-based projects. First, we review an iterative and incremental process and how it is key to delivering frequent client-valued functionality. Next, we review a request process implemented in StarTeam that when combined with frequent iterations, allows us to anticipate and embrace changes from the client. Next, we look at a method of view (workspace) management which automates the delivery of the client-valued functionality. Finally, we review some basic strategies that utilize StarTeam to define the management of our repository across various project roles and provides a coherent strategy for the delivery of all artifacts, including the integration of StarTeam with other Borland products such as Together and CaliberRM.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with StarTeam.
