2013 Agile ConferenceNeed 4 SpeedLeverage new metrics to boost your velocity without compromising on qualityIntroductionThe ChallengesThe ALI Concept Using The ALI Model

OutlineOver 3000 developers globally distributed. An average project size is ~100 developers.

Hewlett Packard (HP)

In this project involved over 150 developers, QA and PO distributed in Israel, Ukraine, Czech, Vietnam, China and the US.

Agile project management solution

CollaborationTime zones Velocity Dependencies & Defect resolutionQuality From 18-24 month releases to 2 weeks releaseReadiness of Value Delivery Chain (VDC) Not enough time

The ChallengesThe idea is the extraction of information stored in various tools and leverage a complete end to end traceability to compile new metrics and reports.

The ALI Concept

Theme, Feature, User Story Source code files and lines of code Unit test, Functional tests, Static code analysis test, performance test, security scan Builds and deployments Defects PractitionersEntitiesSource Code Management (SCM) Build System and Continuous Integration tools Unit test tools, Static Code Analysis and Functional testing tools Code coverage tools Integrated Development Environment tools (IDE) Agile project management and issues tracking tools ToolsLine of Code (LOC) per user story Number of Files (NOF) per user storyNumber of developers\contributors (NOC) per feature\theme. Unit test coverage per user storyUnit Test success per user storyNo of defects per user story

Metrics

Build ReportsBuild reports composed of the metrics

Build TrendsBuild trends report show trends on1. Number of outstanding defect 2. Volume of changes per user stories vs. defects.3. Top contributors based on LOC4. Percentage of build success vs. failuresHeat map

The report maps the application based on the structure of code in the Source Code repository.The report list following related entities and activities per defect1. Related user stories2. Tests 3. Latest code changes related to the user stories Root cause analysis reportDev ManagerQuality AssuranceDevelopersOperationsMarketingUsing The ALI ModelIt shares the additional analytics and metrics that allowed HP to enable cross time zones collaboration and alignment through transparency and provides insights into quality and risk.Conclusion
