Process

Process is the collection of roles, practices, rules, and guidelines used to organize and control the flow of work. The project process is defined in a project area and can be further customized in a team area. In Jazz™, you use process to define user roles and their permissions for performing operations within the tool, such as changing the state of a work item. Because each component in Jazz is process aware, you can add rules of process behavior in the form of preconditions and follow-up actions for these operations. Process can also define project reports, queries, and work item types.

Your process will vary with the complexity of the project and the size and number of teams assigned to the project. Jazz includes process templates that you can adopt and customize. Your team can begin with a simple process and evolve it as the project progresses. If you have customized the process, you can create a new process template and make it available to other teams. Process templates can include an informal description of the specified process.

Jazz supports process in the following ways:
Frequently, there is no single process that applies to all team members and all phases of a project. You can use process behavior to customize the process in specific team areas and iterations. The project process specification addresses project-wide, team, and role-specific behavior and permissions:
