With the advent of such rich open source tools such as Subversion, Git, Trac, CruiseControl, and Review Board, managing software projects of any size has become much easier than ever. But how do you best use these tools in your organization? Picking the tool for you team is not a trivial task, and it requires insight into your team’s size, dynamic, and experience level; these tools are far from one-size-fits-all solutions. In this talk we’ll look at how these tools can fit into any software project and how to pick the right tool for your project, helping you make your team more efficient than before.

Notas do Editor
- Survey the audience, explain you will hit all demographics in one way or another
- Software projects are complex beasts, not as straightforward as building a building. Use example of father-in-law’s shed, how they could scope out everything ahead of time.Building a building is more or less a perfected art, while software is still evolving. For example, compare building a building and software 40 years ago versus now.
- Lots of choices is because developers first project is to build tools to support their own needs. However, each developer takes a different approach to the problem because their situation is different
- Say how the quote almost invalidates the talk. The most mediocre teams will never be great with the best tools money can buy.However, a deeper look at the quote says that having the right tool is better than having the most expensive/most trendy/most used one.
- Not having a process will make any implementation of tools unsuccessful. Correlate to how we see this in CRM implementations.
- Differentiate between development and management tools. For example Eclipse is a development tool, but Bugzilla is a management tool ( and Git is both ).
- Point out where version control fits into management ( tracking development and parallelizing teams ). Talk about how Sugar does it.
- Describe the picture.Cool the fires about Git > SVN
- Biggest problem for teams is keeping organized. Have lots of requests coming in, need to triage and prioritize them. Need to figure out how much can successfully be accomplished with a given amount of resources. Always make sure your tool agrees with your dev methodology
- Differentiate Bug Tracker versus Project ManagementIntroduce the sticky note board
- People love good documentation, but teams hate to write it. Lots of focus on tools that make it simple
- Testing Is both automated and manual. Both are needed, since manual testing can uncover usability or consistency issues that automated will miss.
- Reiterate the importance of your team working being able to accept the tools into their workflow.
