Going Agile for the Future

2. COLLABORATION

3. We travel to workshops and conferences
because we can pool our collective
knowledge and experience to achieve more
together than we can separately.
Collaboration

4. Collaboration:
• Idea, process, and culture
• Formal approach to sharing information,
ideas, software, and results
• Deceptively simple
Collaboration

5. What are your current methods for
collaboration?
• Face to face
• Email
• Phone
• Websites like
http://forums.linearcollider.org
• Confluence, Twiki, etc
Collaboration

6. • Communication with your team
• Tracking and monitoring the progress of your
students
• Collecting and reporting research results
• Sharing tools and software you’ve developed
• Tracking changes made to your software
• Discussing problems and bugs encountered in
software
• Reporting bugs to developers
• Responding to problems your users have
reported
Collaboration

7. Approximately 300 laboratories and 1,600
people from across the world working on
the ILC.
What happens when that expands to more
than 10,000 people?
What are you doing to prepare?
Preparing For The Future

9. At a minimum:
• Nightly software builds
• Up to hourly software builds during “sprints”
• Frequent patches
• Increasingly complicated project
management
• More frequent delays and disruptions in
communications
Preparing For The Future

10. Not the first organization to face this
problem
• NASA
• Tesla
• SpaceX
All have adopted tools and procedures to
facilitate communication and collaboration
between remote teams working on
complex projects
Dealing With Success

11. Customers of all sizes in every industry

12. IT industry:
• Created formal approach called “DevOps”
we can adapt and implement to prepare
for the future
• Created tools to help individuals and
teams collaborate more efficiently
Dealing With Success

13. DEVOPS

14. • Both culture and process that emphasizes
agility, flexibility, and responsiveness to
users of our software
• Continuous builds
• Continuous integration
• Continuous feedback
DevOps

15. Code:
• Develop and review software
• Continuous integration
Build:
• Status of builds
• Version controls
• Merging software
Test:
• Results-oriented objective metrics
Package:
• Artifact repositories
• Pre-deployment staging
DevOps

16. Release:
• Automate releases
• Approve and manage changes
Configure:
• “Infrastructure as Code”
• Cloud computing
• Automate configuration
Monitor:
• Performance monitoring

DevOps

17. COLLABORATIVE TOOLS

18. DevOps relies on “toolchain”
• Interconnected software that supports
the DevOps process and culture
• Tools support transparency, automation,
and rapid dissemination of products
Collaborative Tools

19. Many open-source or freeware tools exist
• No guarantee they will integrate
successfully
• Slower releases, feature requests, and
bugfixes
• Fewer add-ons to achieve specific tasks
• No single point of contact for support
Collaborative Tools
