Thousands of companies have chosen Subversion®, the industry’s leading version control tool, to manage critical software assets.  Whether you are a long-time user of Subversion or just beginning to consider it, you might be wondering if there is more you can do to make an easy-to-use system like Subversion work even better in your environment.  Are there best practices and general principles that can make your enterprise more productive? How can your team get more from Subversion in their daily activities?

Speakers Bob Jenkins and Michael Pilato of CollabNet help drive the Subversion roadmap and have been helping enterprises deploy Subversion since CollabNet first conceived of the version control tool in 2000.  Today, Mike, Bob, and the rest of the CollabNet team continue to steward Subversion’s roadmap, work with organizations to identify their development process requirements, and map Subversion’s best practices to meet those requirements. CollabNet also helps long-time users of Subversion learn how to improve their existing implementations through process adjustments and optimizations for end users.

In this webinar, Bob and Mike will present ideas on how to increase your team’s productivity by using core Subversion functionality and broader application lifecycle tools.
