2. 2 “The most important contribution that management needs to make in the 21 st century is... to increase the productivity of knowledge work and knowledge workers.” - Peter Drucker

3. 3 Overview of SourceForge EE Web application that provides hosting for projects – Source code repositories CVS, Subversion – Issue tracking – Discussion forums with linked mailing lists – Document management – Release management – Wiki Add them all up: Collaboration platform

4. 4 Where do you want to go today? Where is the latest code? – Check your email Where is the spec document? – Check your email Did you fix that bug? – What bug? – Check your email

5. 5 Small groups: OK

6. 6 Large groups: Not so good Can we improve this?

7. 7 Non-integrated tools Where is the latest code? – Separate source control (e.g. CVS) :pserver:someuser1@someserver.cornell.edu:/root/myproject Where is the spec document? – Separate Wiki (e.g. Confluence) http://anotherserver.cornell.edu/ Did you fix that bug? – Separate Issue Tracking (e.g. JIRA) http://possiblyanotherserver.cornell.edu/ Central administration, easy collaboration with others? – Maybe, maybe not; depends on scale of usage

8. 8 Non-integrated tools: Getting better Source Contro l Issue Tracki ng

9. 9 Centrally managed and integrated tool Where is the latest code? – SourceForge Where is the spec document? – SourceForge Did you fix that bug? – SourceForge Central administration, easy collaboration with others

10. 10 Source Contro l Issue Tracki ng Integrated tools: Best SourceForg e EE

11. 11 Collaborative development? Shared source repository Asynchronous development Issue tracking Unit testing Continuous integration/build Continuous documentation Short development, test, feedback cycles – Increased “situational awareness”

12. 12 Collaborative development: Tactical Better developer interaction – Better code Peer recognition – Motivated developers – “Peer pressure” is a good thing here! Transparency, metrics, accountability – Project managers can concentrate on strategic issues

13. 13 Collaborative development: Strategic Developer “mobility” – Easier to prioritize and resource projects – Easier to introduce new developers to existing projects Transparency enables better customer/user relations – Better customer/user feedback and participation Harness decentralized resources – Larger projects – Accessibility to greater variety and depth of skills

14. 14 Forrester: “Applying Open Source Processes in Corporate Development Organizations” Conclusions: Automate documentation processes Get users as involved in development as possible Tier developer involvement on multiple projects Explore agile techniques that have been proven to scale effectively
