Challenges of Software Development


Consequences


People not reading news are not informed, people reading them are

misinformed. -- Mark Twain

Consequences


How does a project get to be a year late?... One day at a time.

-- Fred Brooks

Consequences


Poor methods to determine project progress winds up in overrunning

the cost. -- Anonymous

Consequences


Customers will not love your bad service, but your competitors will.

Benefits of Reports, Metrics and KPI’s


How Reporting Helps


Requirements Management

How Reports and KPI’s help


QA and Test Management

How Reports and KPI’s help


Project Management

Problems of Disjoint Reporting


• One tool barely caters to all functional areas.

• Lack of centralized visibility on release predictability

• Too much manual intervention increasing the probability of human errors

• Management reports are all excel based and not real-time

Integrated Environment Based Reporting


What is Integration & Integrated Environment?


Integration involves

combining data residing in

different sources and

providing users with a

unified view of these data.

-- Wikipedia

Data integration involves

combining data from several

disparate sources, which are

stored using various

technologies and provide a

unified view of the data.-- dataintegration.info

• Point-To-Point Integrations Best of Breed Multi-vendor Tools

Handcrafted Integration code between pair of tools

Third Party develops the integration

• Single Vendor Integrated Tools All Tools from a single vendor pre-integrated

Each integration is based on the vendor’s guideline of usage

The vendor does all the integration

• Integration Middleware Best of Breed Multi-vendor Tools

Adapters/connectors connect the tools to the Middleware

Vendor, Customer or third party can develop adapters /connectors with available open APIs

Different Options of Integrations

Found the Missing Piece?


Reports, Metrics, & KPIs of Integrated Environment


Various kinds of reports, metrics and KPI’s can be derived out of the data

coming in from different tools.

Traceability depicting the relation between cross tool data can be obtained.

Efficient monitoring possible since real time data from different tools are

reflected in the reports.

Management is empowered with a better view of release predictability

A Cross Tool Traceability Report



A Sample Cross Tool Multilevel Pie Chart Report


A Sample Effort Estimation Stack Report

A Sample Cross Functional report


A Sample Cross Project report


Better Release Predictability
