Although global engineering firm CH2M HILL followed the Microsoft Solutions Framework development methodology, it lacked a comprehensive tool set to support its strategy for application lifecycle management, resulting in inconsistent planning and reporting, and lengthy software development and Quality Assurance (QA) cycles. The company addressed these needs by supporting its application lifecycle management strategy with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, which offers powerful role-based tools for all members of the development team, combined with a centralized repository for project data. With its new strategy and solution, CH2M HILL is benefiting from a consistent, repeatable, and measurable software development process; increased development and QA team output; significantly higher software quality; and improved communication and collaboration with project stakeholders.
