At Atlassian Summit 2010, Jonathan Doklovic of Systems Bliss and Kevin Behrens of Internet Broadcasting gave a great session discussing release and change management techniques that have worked in real-world situations.
The simple but effective release management system described uses:
- JIRA for issue tracking.
- Bamboo for continuous integration.
- Bamboo JIRAVersions plugin to retrieve versions from JIRA for use in a build.
- Bamboo Tagger plugin to create a new tag in the source control system after the build.
- Bamboo Pre/Post Build Command plugin to deploy build artifacts.
Internet Broadcasting’s change management system was easily implemented in JIRA using a custom issue type (“Request for Change”) as well as a custom workflow. The solution was fast to set up, simple to use, and has been very effective.
