Java and non-Windows Jumpstart

This jumpstart focuses on planning and implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server with the Teamprise Client Suite for development activities beyond Microsoft and the Windows platform. This jumpstart assists development teams using mixed and non-Microsoft platforms with the appropriate adoption of work item tracking, version control, and automated build and test technologies.

Although details may vary for individual customers, this jumpstart typically includes:

• Elicitation and envisioning around your existing environment and your future direction
• Installation and configuration of Team Foundation Server as appropriate
• Configuration of training partitions on your servers
• Selection and mentoring on appropriate branching and security models
• Configuration and pilot adoption of automated build and test components
• Initial adoption training for affected roles
• Migration support of existing development artifacts into the version control environment
• Go-Live support for initial adoption
• Enterprise rollout and training support as appropriate
• Additional tool customization, administrative scripts or extension as needed

Depending upon the client technologies, this jumpstart may include integrating existing build services (e.g., Ant, CruiseControl, OpenMake, or Maven 2) and unit testing components (e.g., JUnit) with Team Foundation Server components.

About Jumpstarts

Jumpstarts are engagements designed to help you adopt a specific discipline, select processes and/or tools. For larger institutions, jumpstarts can help individual teams or pilot users with the desired adoption. For smaller organizations, a jumpstart may be the basis for a full organizational implementation. Although the specific contents of each jumpstart varies, most include some amount of discovery, implementation, and training. Many individual jumpstarts can be completed in just a few days of effort.
