Take hold of your development project with SCM (continued)
Distinguish change requests from change packages
"What to do" is different from "what was done". For example, a bug report is a "what to do" entity, and a bug fix is a "what was done" entity. Your SCM process should distinguish between the two.
Give everything an owner
Every process, policy, document, work product, component, code line, branch, and task in your SCM system should have an owner. Owners represent entities by nurturing them into growth and maturity throughout their lifecycle.
Use living documents
Describe your policies and procedures using living documents; that is, your process documentation should be as readily available and as subject to update as your managed source code.
Documents are useless if they're inaccessible or unable to be updated. If possible, you should be able to access your process documents from all of your development environments: at your own workstation, at someone else's workstation, and from your machine at home. Updates should be made easily and made immediately available.
Next week, we'll talk about some SCM practices that really work. Stay tuned.
