Collaborative Tools Stack
Perhaps the defining characteristic of a Service Oriented Management approach is the development of a self-sustaining community where employees, partners, and suppliers pool their knowledge to meet the evolving needs of customers. Montgomery County supplies a tool stack to facilitate the development of these communities that responders to this RFP will be expected to use.
The net result of these tools is intended to be constant and interactive communication among all participants – thereby reducing the need for “status” meetings and making the required meetings more focused towards achieving results. Unless specifically noted otherwise (and deviations may be considered a detriment in the “best value” evaluation process), the County will set up the appropriate project areas for each of the detailed stack and responders will be expected to use them. For details about the collaborative tools stack, see:

Wiki
Montgomery County will provide a project wiki area from our standard template that should be used in the following areas.
- Project Planning
- Project Management
- Project Collaboration
- Project Documentation
- How To (e.g., Cookbook /Roadmap Implementations)
- Operational "Runbooks"
- Whitepapers/Project documentation
- Change Management
- Status Reporting
ListServ
Montgomery County will provide an email forum/list server to automate notification for project associates and team members. The responder will be given administrative rights to manage the list and other administrative functions.
Enhancement Requests/Bug Tracking
Montgomery County will provide a project area within the Montgomery County Bugzilla implementation (http://bugzilla.montcopa.org) to automate the submission and processing of bug and enhancement requests across the project.
Source Version Control
Montgomery County supports several custom development environments that require a central repository of code and or documentation that requires versioning and support/control. In all cases, the County uses the techniques commonly employed in Open Source development (even though the product is not necessarily an open source project upon completion). The developers will use the SVN (Subversion) environment (http://subversion.tigris.org) if applicable.
