Rapid Implementation

After CA Endevor SCM is installed, your site's systems programmer or CA Endevor SCM administrator can use Rapid Implementation to perform a basic implementation of a predefined environment with minimum customization. The Rapid Implementation process can also be used by CA services personnel or a CA partner.

Rapid Implementation is a series of steps that allow you to perform a standard implementation of CA Endevor SCM using a predefined environment. CA Endevor SCM is a powerful tool with great flexibility that encompasses many processes, designs, implementations, and abilities. After CA Endevor SCM is installed, you can use Rapid Implementation to set up an implementation, with minimum customization, to get you started using CA Endevor SCM. The tasks outlined in this appendix define a simple, but fully scalable software development environment that is complete and includes a lifecycle and inventory structure.

Regardless of the size or complexity of your operation, the Rapid Implementation process gets you started using CA Endevor SCM quickly and easily. After you gain experience using CA Endevor SCM, you can modify, scale, or customize the basic implementation. You can consider changing parameters, turning on optional features, or adding additional environment definitions to the configuration. Rapid Implementation is completely flexible; modifications and additions to the standard implementation can be made at any time after you complete the steps in this guide, or at the time you perform Rapid Implementation. However, if you make extensive customization changes during the Rapid Implementation, the time it takes to complete your implementation will increase.
