CM Planning in Turbulent Times
Posted by: Tamir Gefen on: January 2, 2009
Two weeks ago, my article about this issue was published in “CM Crossroads”, the leading portal of CM world.
Here is a brief – you can read the whole article in the portal.
In Turbulent economic times such as the recent days, it is reasonable to assume that while some things will be reduced or cut, (e.g. human resources and budgets), others (e.g. documentation) will be maintained or even increased. So, what can we do to create effective and accurate CM Plans?
… And a happy new year

I’ve been asked about it by some of the readers.
Currently, I’m evaluating this new version. When I get my thoughts organized, I will publish it here. I hope it will be in a few weeks.
You can be informed about it by registering to blog right here.
Meanwhile, you can see a nice presentation about the new things in ClearCase 7.1 (Paul Weiss @ IBM RSDC 2008)
