Delivery Management Open Source

What is the purpose of delivery management open source? How important is the delivery management of open source? These are the questions we need to answer.

What Is Delivery Management Open Source?

Delivery management open source is a software delivery management tool used to plan, track and execute software delivery processes. In the open-source world, it is an open-source project which is free for use. 

It can be used to develop and deliver the project on the web. It is a logical tool that helps in managing the project requirements through the different stages of development and design until delivery. 

The main objective of this tool is to help in monitoring, controlling, and tracking the software development process. The major role played by this tool is to carry out the different stages of the software development life cycle. 

The main steps or phases in the life cycle are:

• Planning and design phase
• Implementation phase
• Testing phase
• Maintenance phase
• Supporting and improving phase

The entire development process starts with the planning and designing stage. During this phase, we need to go through several activities like:

Planning tasks: 

It includes taking a look at the tasks that need to be performed to achieve our target. We need to figure out how we will execute them, who will work on them and when each task should be completed. 

We need to identify what needs to be done after the completion of each task and accordingly set up our schedule for future tasks. So this will help us in organizing our work for each step with proper priority. 

Whether we are working alone or as a team. We need to decide which activities have been identified as top priority tasks that need immediate execution. 

These tasks should be tackled first before anything else. After that, we can move on to other less important tasks. 

So this will form our initial schedule of activities needed to complete our project. Also, product development process or even any project or product within our team.

If we are working as a team of developers (working together). Open source delivery management tools help us in achieving this part easily. 

By providing some basic scheduling tools like milestones, Gantt charts, etc. So that we can easily organize our activities according to priority and completion time frames needed for each task. 

Analyzing requirements: 

The next step is analyzing requirements from different stakeholders involved in the project or product being developed by us. There could be various stakeholders involved in the project.

Like managers, marketing personnel, technical experts, etc. Those who may have their own set of requirements expected from the project being developed or the product being developed by us.

So all the requirements are collected and analyzed. So that we can ensure that all the essential requirements are covered in the project. 

It will help us in determining whether we are on the right track or not. These are some of the initial steps performed in this phase. 

So this will help us in deciding if we need to add more things or remove any unnecessary parts in our project or product.
