Change Management for Distributed Teams

Distributed development models have become common practice for systems and software development. Whether you're managing change across different teams, divisions, locations, or time zones, you need a way to manage change in your organization.

Telelogic Synergy™ with Distributed Telelogic Change™ extends Change to provide a centralized approach for coordinating changes across products, components, and teams. Distributed Change capabilities include:

• Enabling global development. Track and review changes by development teams around the world.
• Entering a change request into one database and replicating it to others - replicate all change requests to a common database for centralized reporting.
• Handing over control of a change request from one database to another so that a change request may be managed and approved in one location, but the work may be performed in another location.
• Supporting sophisticated development strategies, such as Component-Based Development. Change requests can be broken down into multiple change requests, each with its own lifecycle. Various components of the request can be assigned or worked upon by separate teams. Teams can easily identify and automatically track their changes in relation to the global change.
• Creating a change request that is related to an existing request. This enables users to record changes that may affect multiple releases or product variants, each of which might be released independently or by different teams.

Through Distributed Change, Telelogic provides an enterprise-wide, multi-site management solution for change requests that enables centralized control, tracking, and an audit trail.
