serial development. While a user has parts
checked out from a work area, no one else on the
team can check out the part. The user develops
new material without interacting with other
developers on the project. TeamConnection
provides the opportunity to hold the part until the
user is sure that it integrates with the rest of the
application. Thus, the lock is not released until the
work area as a whole is committed. Contrast with
concurrent development
