    Working on this ALM Rangers guidance was extremely rewarding, because it covers on of the fundamental areas, which affects pretty much everybody on project teams. It  can be efficiency booster, if done right, or source of dissatisfaction, delays in process and source of confusion, if done wrong. This guidance share best practices and provides practical explanation on WHY teams should do things one way or another, and of course covers HOW aspect. It was great to be reviewer for that project - I learned many new things myself.

    I really enjoyed working on the Version Control guide because I was able to work with an extremely passionate and smart team on guidance that can benefit so many developers out there.  My first exposure to any Rangers project was the original Branching Guide a few years ago so it was a very big deal for me to be able to work in a project related to it.  This type of guidance can greatly enhance your team's abaility to manage and deliver software.
