Community Corner


Hello,
CollabNet has more jobs! Last month I advertised a few job openings, and now there are also some new openings in Marketing and Enterprise Community.

We are looking for an awesome Enterprise Community Manager, Marketing Content Developer, and a Technical Marketing Manager, and a few others.

We also would like to encourage those of you involved in online communities to take a look at the Community Management Cookbook. We have updated some of the pages, and are adding content on an ongoing basis.

Also, we welcome your feedback, ideas, and would like to encourage community managers to use the discussion area.

Webinar Replay
Finding Gold with Analytics: 5 Key Metrics for Successful Software Development

Speakers:

  • Victoria Griggs, Senior Director, Product Marketing, CollabNet
  • Roger Dunn, Founder and CEO, SourceIQ

In this webinar, we will show you how to apply just 5 key metrics to the data already stored in Subversion and TeamForge to answer fundamental questions that drive successful software development:

  • Are we on track for delivery by our target date? If not, how can we shift resources?
  • Are we compliant with company and regulatory standards?
  • Given limited time and resources, where should QA focus their efforts?
  • How can Development improve delivery, transparency, and communication with business stakeholders?
  • How can we obtain superior price and performance from development partners and outsourced teams?
