Agile Enterprise Development & Delivery Practices

13

Serena Dimensions CMDevelop with velocity - collaboratively, securely and efficiently

Core Strengths• Graphical change graph• Collaborative peer review• Proven security & performance• Highly scalable SCCM• Strong process support

What’s New?• Shelving & Personal Streams• Integrated “Expert” Tool Chain• Cherry Pick Merge• KPI Metrics/Reporting• REST API

14

Agile Management for CM RequestsDevelop with velocity - collaboratively, securely and efficiently

Key Capabilities• Backlog management, Kanban,

burn-down and reporting• Development focused• Planning of CM requests• Management of teams• Integrated with SBM, RM and Jira

Value Benefits• Visualize and plan work within CM• Track progress, identify bottlenecks• Manage movement of work between

backlogs in other tools• Integrates with the full CM lifecycle

15

Serena Dimensions CM - Integrated Peer Code ReviewDevelop with velocity - collaboratively, securely and efficiently

Key Capabilities• Collaborative web based architecture• Integrates with Agile stories• Linked to Continuous Inspection• Strengthens audit trail & governance• Configurable for Projects & Teams

Value Benefits• Improved code quality

• Find 70-90% of all defects earlier• Cost reduction

• Save up to 30% of re-work hours• Developer productivity

• Up to 25% improvement in codingPeer Reviews in Software - A Practical Guide by Karl E. Wiegers

16

Feature Based Development - Isolating units of work

• Why separate out pieces of work?• Agile approach (only include in the release what work is complete)• Will not be affected by defects/changes introduced by other work• More stable/release-ready software

• Works best if the features are truly separate• Code does not overlap with that of other features• Separate software components• Something with a well defined interface

Mainline

Feature 1

Feature 2

17

Feature Based Development - Using separate streams

• Each development project has a mainline• Maybe one of these for each parallel release of software• Maybe your releases also feed up to a single mainline

• Separate stream for features or teams• Branch off the release stream when development starts

18

Feature-based Development - How and when to rebase?

• When to “rebase” or update your Streams from mainline?• When there is a change you are dependent upon• You may not need to do this at all

• But the longer you leave this the harder your merge will be

Hot Fix has completed so

the team decide to merge it in.

19

Feature-based Development - How and when to merge?

• How and when to merge • When testing is complete• When another team needs your feature• When Serena Pulse tells you the health and quality are good• When a release is complete

Serena Dimensions CM – Continuous Inspection ToolchainDevelop with velocity - collaboratively, securely and efficiently

Key Capabilities• Extensible plug-in architecture• Schedule & inspect code changes• Report findings & vulnerabilities• Supports DevOps “Shift-Left” • Aggregated KPI Metrics

Value Benefits• Display results in code review• Real-time developer feedback• Reduce coding risks & issues• Monitor code health & quality• Speed release readiness

21

Enhancing Deployment and DeliveryDeliver with velocity - collaboratively, securely and efficiently

Key Capabilities• Integrates SDA with Dimensions

deployment pipeline• Replace Dimensions deployment scripts

with SDA processes

Value Benefits• Brings the power of SDA to CM

Deployments• Use CM for managing stage gates, and

SDA to orchestrate deployment• Integrated audit trail. Know what was

deployed where and why

But wait, do you have a Repository Sprawl problem?

• DevOps driving option of Git

• Repository Sprawl• Multiple Source Code Repos• Individually Managed/Maintained

• Security???• Reliability???• Cross-team collaboration???• Audit trail???

What the Analysts Say “ ”

“By 2016, DevOps Will Evolve From a Niche to a Mainstream Strategy Employed by 25 Percent of Global 2000 Organizations”

“…with the total for DevOps tools reaching $2.3B in 2015 (up 21% yoy)”

“DevOps-ready tools have seen and will continue to see the largest growth potential”

“Cultural resistance and low levels of process discipline will create significant failure rates for DevOps initiatives..” http://www.gartner.com/document/2987231.
