Teams Without Fuss
Enterprise Agile Planning
"Teams" Feature Discussion, Take 1...(Fade in to training session, where a group of happy new VersionOne users are learning more about what their system can do for them.)New customer: "Where do we define the people on the team?"
VersionOne Expert: "Well, you don't have to."
New customer: Odd pause while displaying a quizzical look. Followed by, "...What do you mean?"The above scenario plays out every so often with our customer/facing product experts. How can you have an agile development team without administering who is on the team? It's a natural enough question especially for those who spend more time than they'd like in a world of administrivia ("any time at all" is often sufficient to place one into that category). When designing the Teams feature, we made a conscious effort to minimize the amount of administration needed. What helps in understanding it is a slight change in the mental model. When you think of the VersionOne Teams feature, think of it as...a team room.[caption id="attachment_576" align="alignright" width="228" caption="Team Room"]
