Tool: Rational Team Concert (RTC)
Main Description
The following steps are covered in this tool mentor: Review iteration results Demonstrate value and gather feedback Perform a retrospective ### Review Iteration Results At the end of an iteration, the team should assess whether the objectives and evaluation criteria of the iteration plan were met (such objectives could have been documented in the Overview page of a plan). Check the status of all work items committed to the iteration plan by performing the following steps: Go to the Planned Items tab of the Iteration Plan Editor. For each team member, check the number of closed and open work items indicated under the name of each team member. For the work items that are still open or in-progress assign them to the next iteration and re-prioritize as necessary. ### Demonstrate value and gather feedback When the team demonstrates the product to customers, end-users, and other stakeholders, record the feedback (enhancement requests or defects) in Rational Team Concert (RTC) by creating new work items. Right-click on Work Item folder in the Team Artifacts View. Work Item. Select a Work Item Type as Defect, Enhancement, Risk, Task or Ticket in Create New Work Item window. Click Finish. Provide a work item name in the Summary field. Enter the additional information such as work item Category, Severity, Priority, and Effort estimation. Click Save or Ctrl+S to save the work item. ### Perform a retrospective After performing a retrospective, capture the retrospetive summary in the Overview page of the current Iteration Plan Editor. This can be done by switching the Overview page to edit mode (). See details in the following link: https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/iteration-planning/index.html.
