  6. why?
  7. The Questions 1. What are we doing? 2. Who knows what? 3. Who usually does what? 4. Who did what, precisely? 5. What happened while I was away? 6. How are we doing? 7. When will this be ready? 8. Who said what on that topic? 9. Wasn’t this said before?
  8. Self-Service Team members need self-service answers.
  9. The Tools
  10. Mailing Lists and Archives The default tool... Not much structure Too much information Archives help
  11. Source Code Repository Stores all revisions of all code Traceable code, differences Log messages, what changed
  12. Issue Tracker One page per issue History, decisions Not only for bugs! Powerful search and classification Dependencies, critical paths
  13. Issue Dependencies Answer “why is this not done?” Show critical paths
  14. Project Wiki Collaborative editing Traceable writing Centralized content Potentially chaotic
  15. Project Blog Chronological posts, news, articles Categories, search Central source of news, gossip, stories RSS feeds, broadcasting
  16. What does each tool bring?
  17. Mailing Lists and Archives Lists require lots of discipline to be useful. Searching is often hard.
  18. Source Code Repository Adds a lot of value to simple checkout and commit operations. Tells the story of the code in detail.
  19. Issue Tracker Structuring and classification add a lot of value. Gives each issue a unique ID. Very detailed story of the project, knowledge base.
  20. Project Wiki Does not adds much value to the content. Needs discipline to stay useful. Strong linking features.
  21. Project Blog The best way to disseminate news. Celebrate milestones. Leave space for Random Thoughts. Does your customer subscribe?
  22. Answers?
  23. Answers Lists Bugzilla Weblog 1. What are we doing? 2. Who knows what? 3. Who usually does what? 4. Who did what, precisely? 5. What happened while I was away? 6. How are we doing? 7. When will this be ready? 8. Who said what on that topic? 9. Wasn't this said before? CVS Wiki
  24. Examples Apache HTTP Server Mozilla, Firefox Linux Open Office etc., etc... Using public instances of these tools...
  25. Counter-Examples Let’s have a show of hands...
  26. What now?
  27. Start Small... A source code repository and issue tracker bring the most value.
  28. The Rules If you’re working on something, it must be an issue from our tracker. If something’s not in the source code repository, it doesn’t exist.
  29. Coda
  30. Conclusions These tools work! Self-service answers are the key. You can start small. Don’t forget openness.
