Hi Paul

Off the top of my head you’ll need you have in place:

- A version control tool
- An integration tool
- A process for team communication

A good tip would be having an extra-large display somewhere in the room that shows the state of the latest integration

ThoughtWorks had a pretty good piece on this subject.

Continuous Integration

I would add the following to Darren's list:
* A deployment/promotion tool
* An automated smoke testing tool
* An automated regression testing tool

A focus towards test driven development (e.g. Unit Testing, Automated Testing, Automated Builds, Source Control etc.) should always be a precursor before Continous Integration.

I agree with Duane's comments (and the others) but focus on the precursor of introducing Test Driven Development concepts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) to take full advantage of the benefits of Continuous Integration.
