CM Policy at WSDOT n n IT vs. TMS No policy for CM in TMS n n Need-driven Ad hoc WSDOT 3

WSDOT CM Efforts n Software - Source, EXEs, Testing, Release n n n Client / Server Hardware - what it is & where it is Communication - how its all connected WSDOT 4

Software Development n 3 Software Developers 2 Testers 1 System Administrator n Functional division of labor n n Each module the responsibility of 1 person Client done by 1 person WSDOT 5

Software Development n n n Software developers sit side by side Discuss changes to common elements Coordinate who makes changes to the common files Monthly coordination meetings Developers are the Change Control Board WSDOT 6

In House Development n Users and developers on the same team n n n Instant access More intimate knowledge of the end use Users involved in the process n n Beta testing Prototyping WSDOT 7

CM Tools n n n Individual workstations Compiler - Project Utilities Weekly Backup WSDOT 8

Hardware Management n n n Device definitions Communication infrastructure Circuit layout Field changes coordinated with DB change Design & planning for circuits WSDOT 9
