2. 2 ”MPP” - Micro Project Platform Collaborative and constructive working environment Cost efficient tool selection (Open Source) Low administration overhead Based on virtualization Fast Ramp up What is NEST Project Platform? ”Nest for a project”

3. 3 NEST ideology #1 Collaborative working (based heavily on WIKI usage)‏ Project teams know how to solve problems platform should not restrict solutions! Ready for modifications according project needs Tools are fixable if there are problems Platform is agile for further development

4. 4 NEST ideology #2 Low license costs (Possible to reach 0€) makes possible to build efficiently multiple independent projects All projects are using same tools without limits High integration between tools, because of centralized authentication Easy to maintain (Documented administration work)‏ Test management Error management Version control Issue tracing Data storage Build service Statistic Forums Intra-Knowledge base Collaboration Project team size 1-n ? Linux platform

5. 5 Breaking up project organization model? #1

6. 6 NEST - Foundation for learning project organization? NEST 1.1 NEST 1.2? NEST 1.3?

7. 7 Breaking up project organization model? #2 One server to rule them all? VS.

8. 8 NEST Project Platform Technology #1 NEST v1.1 is based on pure Open Source software components which are pre- installed on one virtual machine image. Server platform Linux (Centos 5.0/RedHat 5.0)‏ Database MySQL (5.0)‏ Authentication OpenLDAP Web Server Apache (2.2)‏ PHP 5.0 - Python 2.4 – Perl 5.8 Only commercial part currently is VMWARE server which will run image. Also Xen/Virtualbox etc..

9. 9 NEST Project Platform Technology #2 Virtualization platform provides service power in efficient way. NEST servers will be possible to deploy as cluster Virtualization platform NEST CLUSTER NEST

10. 10 NEST working in network Project NEST could be located on DMZ where it is available for dedicated organizations or members. This is easy way to get customer in project

14. 14 TWIKI as core technology TWIKI with several integration plug-ins provide high level traceability between different tool domains

15. 15 Requirements, traceability and testing TWIKI with several integration plug-ins provide high level traceability between different tool domains

16. 16 (NEST) Requirements and traceability TWIKI with several integration plug-ins provide high level traceability between different tool domains

18. 18 (NEST) System Testing Scenario organization1 organization3 organization2 organization4 Different processes/intranets Same processes and intranet 4 X COSTS? > 1 X COSTS? vs.

19. 19 What we can reach using open source? Same tools for everyone ? No extra costs for licenses Scalability during project Focus on efficient usage All participants can work together – more agile ?
