Business needs software & systems development
that supports agility…
Must Deliver:
More solutions
More flexibility
More quality
More value
-yet-
Less risk
Less costs
Less or flat resources
Resources
Business
Needs
Effective software & systems development
promotes a delicate balance of resources,
reducing costs while delivering more, higher-
quality business solutions.

 Optimize your team through
support of the 5 ALM Imperatives
• Real-time planning
• Lifecycle traceability
• In-context collaboration
• Development Intelligence
• Continuous Improvement
 Get up and running quickly
 Extend as your needs evolve
 Support heterogeneous
development across multiple
platforms and technologies

Real-time dynamic planning
4
• Plans live outside
of ALM environment
• Manual, error-prone updates
• Separate from team activities
and assignments
• Plans fully integrated with execution
• Continuous planning
• Instantly see the impact of changes
to delivery dates
What is the impact of business trade-offs on our current delivery dates?

Team collaboration across silos
5
• 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.

Traditional Plans
 Release plan
This type of plan is the highest-level plan. It provides a brief overview of the project goals.
Although you can create a release plan for any phase, create this type of plan for an overall
release.
 Phase plan
This type of plan displays the goals to be achieved in a phase. You can create a phase plan
and assign work items that are to be completed in that phase.
 Cross Project plan
This type of plan tracks the schedule of work items in other projects. You can create a cross
project plan, create a tracking work item and add Tracks link to work items in different
projects/plans.

Demonstration #1 – Formal Project Creation
1. Formal Project Creation
2. Review Plans Created
3. Create Backlog Plan
4. Query Work Items Assigned to Me
5. Move Work Items to Requirements Plan

Project Management Capabilities
 Resource management
The Plan view has an additional Resources tab to manage the allocation of resources to the plan. You can
search for resources with specific start and finish dates and work hours, and add them to the plan. You can
edit or remove these allocations any time. You can also view and manage the use of resources within the
plan period. Warnings are displayed when the work assignments for a resource exceed the availability of
the resource for the plan period.
 Risk management
You can create risk work items to identify problems that might arise during the project, and then create risk
actions to mitigate or counter those problems.
 Gantt chart and critical path
You can use the Gantt chart in the Plan view to see a graphical representation of the plan schedule,
including work item durations and dependencies. The critical path identifies work items that have negative
or no slack and consequently can delay the project.

Formal Project Template – Work Items
 Defect – correct verification test finding
 Task – activity to do something in the project
 Project Change Request – Change something in a project
 Business Need – Define a need for some feature
 Issue – Unforeseen project need that needs to be addressed
 Risk – Identify and quantify risk of something happening
 Risk Action – Activity to mitigate risk occurrence
 Milestone – A date something needs to start or end
13

Demonstration #3 – Project Plan Development
 Review Work Items Created
 Create Risk & Risk Action Work Items
 Create Risk Parent – Child Relationship

Dependencies and Constraints
Dependencies
 Finish-to-start
Constraints
 As soon as possible
 Start no earlier than
 Finish no later than

Summary
Formal Project Template
 Traditional Project Management (Waterfall, Iterative)
 Project Plans (Release, Plan, Cross Project)
 Work Items (Task, Project Change Requests, Risk, Milestone)
 Dependency and Constraints (As Soon As Possible, Dates)
Benefits (Real-Time Updates)
 Project Status
 Critical Path Analysis
 Resource Management
 Risk Identification & Mitigation

Delivering greater value with reduced cost..
Pains
 Information was distributed
 No single view of work, productivity, quality, etc across the
enterprise
 Supporting Multiple Tools: Mingle, Rally, Xplanner,
Version One
Goals
 Lower our maintenance cost by moving to a single
platform
 Gain visibility into work across the enterprise
through reporting
 Lower training costs
 Reduce time spent on work item mgmt and
planning
Results
Summary of Annual Savings - Total $ 4.79 M
 Planning automation - $ 389 K
 Daily scrum meetings time reduced - $ 810 K
 Quality Improvement - $ 194 K
 Reduced effort to manage work items - $1.2 M
 Project reporting - $ 130 K
 Reduced time determining project status - $987 K
 Reduced time to establish new teams - $ 432 K
 Reduction of duplicate efforts - $ 648 K
“We are able to build dashboards and wikis to push information back to the
project teams, They don’t have to waste time coming down and waiting for
status reports , they can actually see real time information on a daily basis as
opposed to waiting for a weekly or biweekly report, tremendous benefit across
the organization as a whole”.
