The document discusses CollabNet's DevOps product strategy and focus on operational intelligence. It provides an overview of Eric Robertson's background leading DevOps product lines. It also outlines CollabNet's focus areas for agile planning, execution, and downstream traceability. The document emphasizes the importance of continuous lifecycle integration from planning to operations with traceability, visibility, automation and feedback loops across the software development lifecycle.

Putting the Ops back into DevOps
Operational Intelligence
Plug into existing operation environments via sensors and actions – integrations are simple to author, thousands of which already exist in community
Sensors are inbound integration plugins that watch for events from external systems. When an event occurs, it fires a trigger (e.g., NewRelic app performance alert, Github commit, or JIRA issue update).
Rules use the trigger to select which action or workflow to execute and pass the data needed to execute the action.
Workflows stitch actions together into “uber-actions” with simple declarative DSL, defining the order, transitions, conditions, and data flow.
Actions are outbound integrations and can be any scripts with meta-data. Actions are invoked by users via GUI, CLI, API, or ChatOps(*), or triggered by automations - rules and workflows.
Audit trails record action executions, whether manual or automated, and stores them with full details of triggering context and execution results.
Who is CollabNet?
For 15+ years CollabNet has pioneered collaborative and agility driven software development for globally distributed teams. Instead of struggling with disparate and disconnected processes and tools, we realized that organizations and distributed development teams could realize greater innovation through a set of modern and transparent collaborative methodologies on a Web-based platform, which we call CollabNet TeamForge.
Along with TeamForge, CollabNet provides services that focus on helping companies overcome their software engineering challenges by bringing the benefits of open, agile and collaborative development methods to its teams of developers – inside and outside of their company. As such, we have trained 14,000+ individuals on Agile Scrum, in Public and Private Classes, across the globe. We have created best-practice development environments to facilitate the enterprise shift from On-premise and Packaged Software using Waterfall; to On-Demand and Cloud/SaaS/Mobile Applications using Agile. Our tool platform and services approach embrace automated or manual practices, local or distributed teams, tightly centralized or loosely connected client tools and flows, while at the same time provides unsurpassed organizational wide governance and visibility.
The business returns to our clients have been impressive, with enterprise rollouts achieving gains into the 10s of millions of dollars annually while achieving time-to-market and productivity gains of 10% - 70% depending upon the amount of i) agile approaches, and ii) collaboration employed by these organizations. These gains are just not possible with silo’d based tools and processes. Some of the best companies in the world, literally # 1 in their respective markets - FedEx, American Express, Walmart, HP, Capgemini, Deutsche Bank, the US DOD and many others - have standardized on CollabNet. CollabNet’s core product, TeamForge, is the innovation and collaboration backbone for these organizations. Due to our unique product differentiators and our deep experience in open source, agile development, and enterprise scale collaborative software development, CollabNet stands alone in being able to provide these results for global enterprises such as these and such as your company.
Let us highlight the key components of the CollabNet solution capabilities that have enabled these companies to achieve these results, and how your company can do the same.
