we are a team of about 100 developers working in an iterative development style. We are looking for a solution that will allow us to aggregate all development artifacts in one collaborative environment. Rationals Team Concert is bringing a lot of what we are looking for issue tracking combined with project management and soure code management integration as well as reporting.
While Team Concert is bringing a lot of features it is also quite expensive.
Thats why I am looking for alternatives. I wasn't able to find a product which is providing the same functionality so I guess Rational is ahead of other companies in this market.
Do you know of any competitive products? Can you suggest a combination of preferrably Open Source products that could serve us well?
Thanks in advance for your help!
cheers Mike
I guess a Redmine setup plus a DVCS (like Git), combined with eclipse and Mylyn would be the closest open-source alternative to Rational Team Concert.
You still would miss some nice features like instant messaging and stack debugging transfer (the ability to freeze a live execution and transfer it to a colleague), but that would be a good start.
