## CM Policy at WSDOT

- IT vs. TMS
- No policy for CM in TMS
- Need-driven
- Ad hoc

- WSDOT

## WSDOT CM Efforts

- Software - Source, EXEs, Testing, Release
- Client / Server
- Hardware - what it is & where it is
- Communication - how its all connected

- WSDOT

## Software Development	

- 3 Software Developers
- 2 Testers
- 1 System Administrator
- Functional division of labor
- Each module the responsibility of 1 person
- Client done by 1 person

- WSDOT

## Software Development

- Software developers sit side by side
- Discuss changes to common elements
- Coordinate who makes changes to the common files
- Monthly coordination meetings
- Developers are the Change Control Board

- WSDOT

## In House Development

- Users and developers on the same team
- Instant access
- More intimate knowledge of the end use
- Users involved in the process
- Beta testing
- Prototyping

- WSDOT

## CM Tools

- Individual workstations
- Compiler - Project Utilities
- Weekly Backup

## Benefits of CM Efforts

- Troubleshooting - test points identified
- Knowledge available to all players
- Transfer of knowledge to new players
- Resource Management - can we fill requests
- Future Planning – expansion: need, capacity

- WSDOT

## Conclusions	

- C M  - system user’s survival kit
- Match the tools to the need
- The better the CM effort, the better prepared you will be for the future of your system
