Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System is gaining momentum as an end-to-end software project platform for the entire development team, including architects, developers, testers and project managers. Teams that have adopted the Rational® Unified Process as their development methodology can benefit greatly by having their RUP® content natively in the Team System environment.
Content Bridge for VSTS creates VSTS Process Templates from Rational® Method Composer (RMC) content, including content from the various RUP® and third-party plug-ins. This loss-less transformation empowers teams by allowing them to create and execute "RUP® aware" Team System projects.
| Frictionless access to the right process content |
Practitioners can benefit from immediate access to relevant RUP® content, without the need to dig through cumbersome process documentation. |
Seamless integration into VSTS
|
Work Item types are created based on familiar RUP® entities (Activities, Work Products, Artifacts, etc...) to permit seamless integration of the RUP® methodology into the VSTS environment.
|
Preservation of the Work-flow and Work Breakdown Structure
|
The Work-flow and Work Breakdown Structure of the process can be exposed to allow better understanding of task context and to optionally facilitate process enactment through IRIS Process Live.
|
Content Bridge provides flexible mapping of RUP® content to VSTS Work Item attributes. It also offers the ability to perform simple content tailoring, such as adding or removing guidances, while preserving the process integrity for consumption in VSTS. This allows teams to perform common tailoring tasks without the steep learning curve required to understand complicated process meta-model concepts.
Make RUP® Come Alive
Process Templates created by Content Bridge are ready to be immediately used for team projects. With RUP® process content natively within VSTS, organizations may optionally take advantage of opportunities for process automation through IRIS Process Live which:
- Provides practitioners with a better understanding of the process through convenient views and tools
- Guides the team through a project by following the process with automatic Work Item state changes and notifications
- Gives project managers on-demand monitoring and metrics of the project with respect to the process to ensure compliancy and allow for process improvement
