Creating the project

Once the prerequisite record types have been created, you can create an ALMProject record.

About this task

An ALMProject record coordinates and controls the work efforts of a team to produce some work product of the project. It defines the parameters within which your team operates in the ALM process, including iterations, phases, team members, category, and release.

The mandatory fields for an ALMProject are SecurityPolicy, Category, and Owner. Name and Release are optional fields that can help identify project uniqueness. These fields are mandatory if a project already exists with blank or non-unique Name and Release values. You can also specify values for SuperProject and PriorProject if they exist and are relevant to your new project.

Procedure

  1. In the HCL VersionVault client, click File > New > ALMProject.
  2. Select the owner in the Owner field. Select the category associated with the project in the Category field. Click the History tab. Select a security policy (for example, OpenUp Security) in the SecurityPolicy field. Specify a Name and Release for your project.
  3. Click OK.

What to do next

You cannot set the default Task and Activity for the new project until after you submit the project so they can reference it. Once the project exists, you can configure it in more detail.
