Was it hard to implement?

in our project there is one interesting requirement initiated by some project managers:

There is a synergy project named "documents" with the release docs/1.0.0. this project contains some papers, protocolls, records, concepts and other important documents. there are also some subprojects and subdirectories.

The requirement is: the subprojects need some new (mandatory!) attributes, e.g. "responsible team" or "responsible manager". Everytime a new (sub-)project for release docs/1.0.0 is created the creator needs to fill in the responsible team for that project. The value of the attribute can be any string and no plausibility checks are needed.

Is there any way to create new (mandatory) attributes for the object type "project"?

Maybe, create a new type "custom_project" or derive from the typedef "project" could help.

any ideas?

DevOps is a movement that is underway or at least in the very early stages of infancy as a way to rid the IT world of some if not most of its silo’s.  Silos have existed in Information Technology (IT) from the beginning for two reasons, the complex nature of early IT systems and because that’s the way businesses are run, for the most part.  Silo’s are an easy way for Accounting to make sense of business operations, for example, marketing only does marketing activities, sales does sales, distribution does distribution, etc.  So fast forward to today’s IT environment where Agile is taking hold and become more prevalent, where IT systems are becoming more complex, where news reaches the rest of the worlds in seconds not days or weeks.  Large scale failures and inefficiency is becoming not only way of life, in some people’s eyes it’s the norm in IT.  DevOps is an attempt to correct this: Will it succeed?  Time will tell.

“DevOps” is a contraction of “development and quality assurance” and “operations” that describes the practice and result of the bi-directional integration of these functions in an enterprise. It is a set of development, quality assurance, and operational tools and processes aimed at achieving the business goal of deploying timely and higher-quality software products and services.
